'''MEATandTHREE.com''' is an online directory that is devoted to cafes, restaurants and diners in the United States that serve a menu item consisting of one meat and three vegetables (or "sides"). These restaurants are commonly referred to as "meat and threes" and the typical ''"southern comfort food"'' they offer is often called a ''"blue plate special"'' or ''"daily lunch plate"''. The company's web site includes its own official definition, as defined by the company's founder, Phil Roberson, who calls himself ''"mn3guy"''. Viewers can navigate through the site geographically to find meat-and-three restaurants in 24 states, ranging from only one or two per state to more than 70 in some of the larger states. The web site includes links to its '''blog articles''', whose purpose is to record the history and stories related to individual meat-n-threes. A '''photo tour''' of over 70 Middle Tennessee meat and threes was posted in early February 2007 on the site as well as in the Photo Gallery section of '''Nashville, Tennessee's About.com''' listing.

== History ==
 
The web site's beginning came about through the founder's love for really good home cooking created by his mother, grandmother, wife and aunts, as well as the many trips to meat-n-three's enjoyed with friends and family. While working at a highly successful online directory of bed and breakfasts and country inns, '''Bed & Breakfast Inns ONLINE (www.bbonline.com)''', Phil created MEATandTHREE.com in late 2003 as a hobby site - something fun to spend some time on. BBOnline was started in 1995/1996 by one of Phil's neighbors, Randy Fought, who had a keen interest in B&Bs and was able to marry his programminga/analyst experience and capabilities with his B&B interest (along with his wife) to create BBOnline. The company was operated from home for a time, then moved to an office building in Madison, Tennessee, as it enjoyed steady growth year to year. Phil joined Randy's team in late 2000 as VP of Operations and helped to organize internal operations, manage staff, provide input, and help to grow the site along with Randy - becoming Randy's right-hand man.
