Its the familys secret sauces that keep patrons coming back to Sake Japanese Grill, says Kim McGee, the owners daughter. The restaurant, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, sits on West Main Street in Lebanon and has been voted the Best Asian Restaurant in Wilson County! Kim, Wayne and Huy, along with their parents, Hich and Dung Truong, have been operating the family-owned business with emphasis on family. They are both pleased and surprised that they have been considered a local favorite and that the restaurants popularity has grown so quickly. One of the things that a lot of people seem to like quite a lot, in fact is the signature Sake Sauce. Kims father developed the sauce, which Kim says is similar to shrimp sauce found at other Japanese restaurants, but is unique in its own way. Our Sake Sauce, along with all of our other sauces, are homemade, Kim said. When new people come in, they often tell us we should bottle and sell our signature sauces. Kim states that the Sake Sauce is very versatile, and goes with pretty much everything. It can be a salad dressing, dipping sauce or whatever one can imagine. Its everybodys new-found favorite! The Truongs say their only form of advertisement is by word of mouth. The food sells itself and when you dine in, you can expect deliciously fresh, made-to-order food that is served with a smile. Sushi fans bring in their novice friends to try the tasty, exotic treat. With sushi, we can recommend a certain roll for the beginners, Kim said. They almost always get hooked and crave for more. Sometimes, our regulars will come in, have a seat, and we bring out their plates without giving them a menu or asking for their order, Kim said. They normally have the same thing with each visit, the hospitality is very rare and you can only find it at Sake Japanese Grill.

Body Kneads
A Note from the Owners of Body Kneads, Etc. Day Spa It has been a pleasure to serve all of our friends here in Wilson County for the past three years. It has been an amazing journey! We are a family run business, and we believe that it is our unique approach to health and wellness for men, women, and their families that has allowed our team at Body Kneads, Etc. to meet and treat so many individuals in Wilson County. Many persons in our area are suffering from chronic pain and that motivated us to search for a way to introduce a form of massage therapy called Myo-Fascial Trigger Point Therapy to Wilson County. This progressive alternative to surgery has allowed us to observe many of our friends and neighbors regain the level of health and mobility they desire. This experience has been a source of joy and inspiration for us at Body Kneads, Etc. This year we are undergoing an exciting spa transformation by expanding our service menu to include new treatments in Massage, Skin Care and Nail Care, and adding new members to our team. In addition, we anticipate hosting many special events from Spa Parties to Seasonal Open Houses where we will have an opportunity to get to know our guests. Please visit our newly updated website or drop in to the spa to explore our newest offerings, and then go to our Facebook page to tell us what you think. We love to hear from you! We feel such gratitude to have been voted Best Day Spa in Wilson County, and to be counted as an asset to this great community here in Tennessee. Thank You! Sincerely, Julie Miller-Wilson & Heather Hull

As the story has been told, Robert E. Lee came to acquire the building which is currently home to the firm by somewhat of an accident. In 1977, Mr. Lee was walking down the sidewalk in front of 109 East Gay Street one morning to get a cup of coffee at the City Cafe. The building was being auctioned at the very moment he was walking by. The auctioneer shouted to Mr. Lee to make a bid so, Mr. Lee made a bid but kept walking to get his cup of coffee. After buying his coffee and without giving the auction any more thought, Mr. Lee ventured back to his office. As he walked back in front of the building, the auctioneer informed Mr. Lee that he was the proud new owner of the building. Lee and Lee Attorneys has been housed in that building ever since. Founded in 1959 by Mr. Robert E. Lee (1922 - 2006), former Assistant United States Attorney, Middle District of Tennessee; the firm practices in the following areas: General Practice, Personal Injury, Family Law, Divorce, Adoption, Child Custody, Support and Visitation, Guardianship and Conservatorship; Residential and Commercial Real Estate Closings, Title and Settlement Services, Deeds, Landlord and Tenant law, Contracts; Wills and Estates, Probate, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills; Creditor Rights including Bankruptcy practice in Middle Tennessee District, Foreclosure and Collections; Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and Partnerships; Criminal Law, Felony, Misdemeanors, DUI Defense, Juvenile Law, Child Custody and Department of Childrens Services Defense.

Wilson Bank & Trust

At Wilson Bank & Trust, we understand that being the best is a product of more than just outstanding service, especially as needs, methods and expectations change in the financial world. With that in mind, a special emphasis on technology in 2013 is producing some convenient new options for doing business with WBT with extra emphasis on convenient. As a community-minded institution, we certainly enjoy getting to know customers on a personal level when they have the chance to visit an office in person. But we also understand that time doesnt always afford this luxury, and to best serve customers who like to bank on the go (or expand on what they can do in the mobile and online arenas), we are evolving with technology. These are a few of the newest or soon-to-be-introduced WBT services and options for the electronically inclined: Money Desktop: Our personal financial management tool, offered at no charge through online banking, can help you organize all your money in one place, including accounts that arent with us, and the app works great with tablets and smart phones. MoneyDesktop was introduced this spring. Online Bill Pay enhancements: Customers who havent browsed our online banking platform lately may find more than they expect, over and beyond MoneyDesktop. A few of our newer features include simple person-to-person and one-time payments, automated reminders and e-notifications. Mobile Check Deposits: If you dont want to make a special trip to the bank to deposit a check, you dont have to. Get our free smart phone app to image the check and add it to your account with just a few quick taps. This free new service is available August 1. New Website: Weve upgraded the backdrop for all our online services in a big way this summer. Visit the new wilsonbank.com and youll find improved functionality, quick access to online banking, photos from our community events and more, not to mention a fresh, clean look. Our new site launched July 1. Online Account Opening: Starting this fall, when you want to start a new account at WBT, youll have the option to do that completely online. Upon its arrival, which is slated for September, this free service will allow you to do everything from opening to funding without visiting a branch. Kasasa Checking and Saving Accounts: This October, a suite of new WBT deposit accounts can help you earn higher checking interest rates for certain balance levels, with no monthly fees. And you can pair Kasasa checking with specialized savings accounts to store away your extra earnings automatically. Just like in other areas of life, new capabilities are coming about rapidly in banking these days, and Wilson Bank & Trust has more than kept up with the community bank competition and in most ways even the national banks when it comes to offering the latest technology for financial services. But adding technology just for the sake of having it is not our goal at WBT. Theres a more important objective in mind than staying near the front of the pack, and thats to help you do business in ways that are continually faster, simpler or more beneficial, if thats what you prefer. Whether you interact with us inside an office, at a drive-thru window, at on ATM, on a laptop at home, on your mobile or tablet, or some combination of all the above, we want to you have a great banking experience every time. Thanks for making WB&T the best provider of financial services in Wilson County.
