Rolling Stone Eats Up Nashville's Music Scene, and Some Restaurants, Too

The boys at our sister site, Nashville Cream, report on Rolling Stone's annual Best of Rock issue, in which the mag proclaims Nashville's music scene the best in the U.S. Rolling Stone also lists restaurant recommendations from various rock stars with Nashville ties, including the Black Keys' Patrick Carney, Ke$ha and Kings of Leon brother Nathan Followill.

The story's in Rolling Stone's April 28 issue (on newsstands now). Online content is available by subscription only, but Cream procured a scan.

The story has set some of Cream's readers aflame. (Who knew it was controversial for a national magazine to like Nashville.)

What are your thoughts, Bitesters? Here's the part of the story that pertains to restaurants:

There are plenty of amazing cheap eats in town: Carney suggests the fried-avocado tacos at MAS TACOS, while Ke$ha recommends the meat-and-three platter at ARNOLD'S — "unless you don't want to suffer a heart attack." The Kings' Nathan Followill swears by "the bison burger with truffle fries" at BURGER UP. Jack White and wife Karen Elson are brunch regulars at MARCHE; for fine dining, hit CITY HOUSE, a farm-to-table haunt that serves moonshine and hosts the Kings, Gillian Welch and Mumford & Sons. Taylor Swift prefers a lighter snack:"I love the Blue Chair granola yogurt parfait at FIDO."
