Garth Brooks’ new Nashville bar has something rather sentimental on the menu.
Along with his wifeTrisha Yearwood’s food, the menu also features a very special dessert that’s close to the couple’s heart — their wedding cake.
“This was my mom’s recipe. It’s a sour cream pound cake with just a decorative frosting, and it’s a piece of history for us,” Yearwood, 59, said onGood Morning Americaon Thursday, ahead of theFriends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk’s grand opening.
“It brings my mom back into the kitchen, too,” added the cookbook author, whosemom Gwendied of cancer in 2011.
Brooks, 62, and Yearwoodtied the knotin December 2005 at their home outside Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the private ceremony, the country stars exchange vows in front of family members just six months after Brookspopped the questionin California.

“It’s the perfect Christmas gift to each other. We could not be happier,” Oklahoma native Brooks said in a statement at the time.
Aside from the dessert, which is listed as ‘G&T’s Wedding Cake’ on thebar’s menu, the new establishment also serves up Yearwood’s “fabulous” chicken tenders and burgers, along with fried pickles and collard green stuffed wontons.
“If you don’t come to Friends in Low Places for the cold beer and the Honky Tonk and music, Trisha Yearwood’s food is there,” Brooks said on hisInside Studio Gpodcast last month. “That’s pretty cool, man.”
“I’ve heard nothing butrave reviews about her burger,” the country singer continued, before someone off-screen complimented Yearwood’s chicken tenders as “the best in town.”
“Hats off to her,” Brooks said, adding that they went through “a thousand different renditions of chicken tenders." “They’re fabulous,” he noted.
