"It's no secret that Nashville is one of the most electrifying food cities in the US of A. First things first: the mouthwatering, tear-inducing homegrown hot chicken - and don't sleep on Bolton's exceptional whiting version. Legendary "meat 'n' threes" such as Arnold's Country Kitchen and Elliston Place Soda Shop offer a soul-satisfying taste of nostalgia. Over on the other end of the culinary spectrum, there's the newly minted Michelin-starred trio of Bastion, Locust, and The Catbird Seat."
"But if you're looking for the latest smash hits in Music City, a trip to trendy East Nashville is in order, where a pair of newcomers have become the toughest tickets in town. While Kisser - with its comfort-food focus - and the sushi-centric Kase x Noko offer wildly differing experiences, they both excel at serving up exceptional Japanese fare at a price point that's easy to swallow."
Nashville hosts a vibrant and varied food scene, from tear-inducing hot chicken and Bolton's whiting to nostalgic 'meat 'n' three' institutions like Arnold's Country Kitchen and Elliston Place Soda Shop. The city also supports high-end dining with Michelin-starred restaurants Bastion, Locust and The Catbird Seat alongside stalwarts Rolf and Daughters, Etch and top-tier barbecue. Wall-to-wall honky tonks on Broadway contribute to the city's lively atmosphere. Trendy East Nashville features newcomers Kisser and Kase x Noko, both serving exceptional, affordable Japanese food. Kisser, opened in 2023 by Brian Lea and Leina Horii, earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and emphasizes small and bigger plates blending comfort food and fine-dining techniques.
