Who We Are

In 1996, a dream came true for Peggy Pickens, as she was accepted into the Nashville Business Incubation Center. That was where Dining In began and grew into a viable business in the Nashville community. Upon graduation from the five year program at the Center, Dining In moved to it's own building and present location in the Berry Hill area of Nashville.


Peggy's son, Chris, has been her business partner for eight years. Peggy will tell you without hesitation what a blessing it has been to have her son on board. Family and friends have helped work the business into a reality throughout the years. Today, cousins and friends still work to truly make this small business a "family operation".


In a recent Nashville published article about successful graduates of the Center, Peggy and Chris were described as running the company with "grace and grit". Those words accurately describe how, through determination and hard work, the two have built the business based on friendship, loyalty, honesty and trust.


We look forward to serving you.

Krystal Burger Cake featured at Krystal GM Conference in Nashville



In March 2010, Peggy had the opportunity to create the fabulous, life-like cake resembling a Krystal burger shown above. The Krystal company was quick to praise Peggy and her staff for their excellent and delicious work by stating the following:

"Needless to say, everyone who attended the conference was in awe of the cake’s incredible detail and great taste. It’s probably the only alternative to a Krystal Burger that you could get these folks to even try!"
