Nashville: Exploring Music City’s Food Scene

Loveless Cafe.

Many visitors to Nashville are drawn by the city’s amazing music offerings, but the exploding food and drink scene is another reason to visit. Big name chefs like Sean Brock have moved into Nashville in recent years, bringing exciting new restaurants that complement long-time must-visits spots, like Robert’s Western World for bologna sandwiches and Loveless Café for biscuits. Along with creative takes on bánh mì, Australian breakfasts, and delicious birria, you’ll also find plenty of joints serving the city’s favorite dish — hot chicken — and we’ve put together a guide to the places setting your taste buds aflame.
