Re: “Chef Deb Paquette Teaming With Amerigo Vets To Open Echo in the Encore Condominium”
So awesome to see this kind of development already beginning around the MCC. Every day it seems like more good news as we watch downtown Nashville's anemic restaurant landscape taking shape and changing for the better. I couldn't think of a better name than Deb's to add serious cred to this project. Keep em' comin!
Re: “Weekly Open Thread Welcomes Girl & Goat to Nashville”
Lunch today at The Smiling Elephant! Pretty much everything that comes out of that kitchen is intense and wonderful. The Pad Thai is a unique version I've never before seen but might have ruined my appetite for the typical plate of vinegary noodles. And the Khao Kai Ra-bert is insane.
Re: “'Washington Post' Blog Gets Sarcastic About Nashville Restaurants”
New Orleans' food scene is literally hundreds of years ahead of the Vegas scene. I agree with Chris that if you like big names, and carbon-copy outposts, then the Vegas food court vibe might be your thing. It's definitely not mine. I prefer the cafes and boucherie eateries of New Orleans in all their grand authenticity.
Re: “This Just In: Nashville is Super Fun and Has Good Food”
Truth,
We live in Nashville. Not Tennessee.
Re: “That Sow's Ear Really IS a Silk Purse”
The hot links (sausage) at Jim N Nicks is excellent. Super-lean and meaty with a nice texture and great spicy (but not overly) flavor. I've also always been impressed with the sides. Mac-n-cheese is awesome and the cabbage and collards always sport meaty chunks of hock. Definitely one of this town's chain-restaurant winners!
Re: “First Bite: Sopapilla's”
The Local Taco sucks! It's gringo-mex served on stale flour tortillas. Not a corn tortilla in sight, last I checked. Sylvan Park restaurant sucks too. It's depressing.
I'm excited about Sopapillas and look forward to som NEW MEXICAN cuisine.
Re: “Sardinia, a Restaurant and Wine Bar in Miami Beach, Will Open a Nashville Location”
I've had a handful of amazing meals at Sardinia. It will immediately stand out as one of the top restaurants in Nashville.
