If you’re craving a sandwich that feels a little more fun than your usual lunch order, this week’s Restaurant Run of the Week has you covered. We headed east to Donelson to check out Cheba Hut Toasted Subs, and let’s just say… this is not your average sub shop.

Cheba Hut leans all the way into a playful, counterculture aesthetic that immediately sets the tone. Inside, you’ll find quirky signage and laid-back energy. This is the kind of place where you come hungry and leave happy.

The star of the show is the toasted sub.. and Cheba Hut does them right. Every sandwich comes warm by default, with bread that’s lightly crisped on the outside and soft inside, melted cheese pulling everything together, and generous fillings without being messy. Well, a little messy.

A fun soda fountain (yes, including Kool-Aid) plus a full bar makes this a great stop whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out a little longer than planned.

Reset Your Energy and Feel Lighter With a January Liver Reset

January is the perfect time to reset, rebalance, and support your body after the indulgence of the holidays. If you’re doing Dry January or simply craving a fresh start, focusing on liver health can make a powerful difference—and it’s one of the most overlooked wellness rituals.

That’s why I’ve made Pique’s Liver Detox Protocol part of my January reset. Inspired by over 3,000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this gentle daily ritual supports your body’s natural detoxification processes without harsh cleanses or deprivation.

The protocol includes two simple moments a day: Electric Turmeric in the morning and La Ginger in the evening. In the morning, Electric Turmeric feels warming, grounding, and nourishing—like a calm reset before the day begins. At night, La Ginger is bold and soothing, supporting digestion and overnight renewal.

Within weeks, I noticed steadier energy, less bloating, clearer skin, and an overall lighter feeling. It didn’t feel like a detox—it felt like alignment. Two small rituals, big results.

🔎 Last Eaten Review: G-13

The G-13 is a loaded savory classic done right. Roasted turkey breast and roast beef provide plenty of protein, while crispy bacon adds a salty kick. Layered with provolone, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle, every bite is that perfect bite. The chipotle mayo brings a slightly spicy kick, and the Shake & House dressing ties it all together with that signature Cheba Hut zing.
