21. Swankys Expands On Successful Formula - Monday, May 03, 2010

“We don’t think of Swankys as Mexican,” said Matt Wilson, “and not even Tex-Mex. Around the store we call it Tenn-Mex.”

That’s an appropriate, if wholly original, term for the restaurant that Wilson opened in Germantown in July 2005.
