Curator’s statement

Nashville is a food lovers happy place. Want BBQ? You can find the best. Want celebrity chef driven? Yep, they have plenty to choose from. Bring your wallet, or not, just bring plenty of tummy space and you can still burn off those calories taking in all of the culture that Nashville has to offer, as a side plate.
