2022 Nashville Restaurants: The Food Enthusiast’s Long Weekend Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.
But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
“This concise guidebook was exactly what I needed to make the most of my limited time in town.”
= Tanner Davis, Milwaukee
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
“The fact that he doesn’t accept free meals in exchange for a good review makes all the difference in his something brutally accurate reviews.”
= Jerry Adams, El Paso
“Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.
“Unlike the ‘honest’ reviews on site like Yelp, this writer knows what he’s talking about. He’s a professional, with decades in the business, not an amateur.”
= Holly Titler, Los Angeles
Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

2022 Nashville Restaurants - Andrew Delaplaine
Introduction
11148395484_f3e54634a1_o copyEvery city has its own nickname. (Some even have more than one.) New York is the Big Apple. New Orleans is the Big Easy. Chicago is the City of the Big Shoulders.
Nashville is Music City, pure and simple. When you hear the term Music City, you only think of one town, and that town is Nashville.
While Memphis is a larger city than Nashville, Nashville is the capital of Tennessee. I never actually thought about that till I first arrived here. My initial reaction on hearing that Nashville was the capital of Tennessee was to think how odd that sounded. I’d only thought of Nashville as the Country Music Capital of the World,
which of course it is. Not as the capital of anything else.
Having been raised in South Carolina, I well remember seeing Minnie Pearl on TV in broadcasts from the Grand Ole Opry, which has done weekly shows since 1925, making it the longest continuously broadcast radio show in history.
Grand-Ole-Opry-MainNashville is not only the center of the country music business, but for Christian music as well.
They city has outgrown its label as a purely country
town. What makes it particularly unique is that it combines the best elements of a small town (people say Hello
on the streets, the clerks in the shops are as pleasant as can be) with the sophistication of a big town (the museums are superlative, the galleries cutting edge, the restaurants are world class—repeat the words Catbird Seat and Rolf & Daughters to me).
The restaurant scene has exploded, and now features some of the most original cooking that stands up to the best that New York has to offer. Just look at what they’re doing at the Catbird Seat. I find it particularly interesting that Sean Brock, who so successfully opened Husk and McCrady’s in Charleston, opted to return to Nashville (where he once worked for 3 years at the Hermitage) with a local version of Husk. If Brock’s presence doesn’t say something about the food scene in Nashville, nothing does.
The bar scene also has greatly expanded, offering much more variety. As for nightlife, there’s never been anyplace with so much music going on. Start at the Bluebird Café (the location of scenes in ABC’s Nashville
TV show, though they use a set that recreates the site) and then dig deeper.
The formerly down-and-dirty 12 South District has bounced back big-time with eateries offering sustainable cuisine, trendy shops, a cutting edge atmosphere, making it one of the hotter new areas of town. Meanwhile, in what’s now called SoBro (meaning that it’s directly south of the famous Broadway honky-tonk area), once home to almost nothing, you can experience a whole new neighborhood coming alive as it changes day by day, with famous chefs opening restaurants and craft cocktails being served at new hotspots.
One thing I guarantee: You’ll never get Nashville out of your blood.
