As many Music City dining aficionados may have noticed,
The New York Times ran a lengthy
feature on Nashville restaurants. There were some interesting
geographical interpretations of our fine city (and the word
"hipster" appeared half a dozen times, prompting some tattooed and
bearded East Nashvillians to hop off their fixed-gear bikes and
tweet their grievances) but the article deftly highlighted some
fantastic Nashville restaurants well-deserving of recognition, and
it's great to see the Nashville dining scene getting some attention
on the national level.
Restaurants featured in the article include
Bolton's Spicy Chicken and Fish, Las
Paletas, Mas
Tacos, City
House, Margot
Cafe and red-hot newcomers The
Catbird Seat and
The Pharmacy. The piece largely centers on East Nashville,
which has seen no shortage of foodie love in recent days. Tyler
Florence and The Great Food Truck Race spent
some time on the east side a couple weeks back, and Adam Richman
noshed upon the
Asian flank steak sandwich at Mitchell Deli just last week
for his new show, Best Sandwich in America.
With all this focus on Nashville restaurants, we'd be remiss not
to mention our recently updated list of
Nashville's Top 100 restaurants. 6 of the 7 restaurants
mentioned in The Times article are currently Top
100's, and other new additions to the list include Giovanni, Gojo
Ethiopian, Kayne
Prime, The
Smiling Elephant, Suzy
Wong's,
Table 3, Tavern, and PS Noodle
Pot. Follow the link for complete details of our Nashville
update.
