Twice Bitten: What You May Have Missed This Week on Bites
Posted by Jim Ridley on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 2:14 PM
The latest contentious chapter in the Tangredi Restaurants saga was only the tip of the spatula this week on Bites. From a somewhat ironically appreciated Southern staple to a close encounter with ant eggs, from a round-up of Irish restaurants and St. Paddy's Day specials to a new Greek joint that's the toast (or pita) of the East Side, Bites continues its search for the liveliest, freshest food news in Nashville. Some highlights of the past week:
• Carrington Fox, a.k.a. Fearless Leader, launched her ambitious project to chart the city's dining specials for every night of the week. Get ready to add Wing Wednesday to your calendar.
• Bellevue lost one of its dining destinations this week when WildWood Oak Fired Kitchen closed its doors.
• Nicki P. Wood, who covers the waterfront for Bites, hipped you to the amazing spicy-sweet Vietnamese catfish special on the weekend menu at Miss Saigon.
• Lee Stabert took a swing at the staff of life by making her own no-knead whole grain bread, and evidently tapped into a citywide network of DIY breadmakers.
• Jack Silverman sez: Whatever that eggplant-ground-beef thingamajig is that Zavós serves, get it.
Let us know which features you like best and what kind you'd like to see more often. Please spread the word and share Bites with your friends. And thanks, as always, for reading.
