If this festival were just about bringing famous chefs to town, it wouldn’t be nearly as impressive as it is — nor would it merit an entrance fee that starts at $150. But the genius of Music City Food + Wine is that it taps both local and out-of-town talent, offering fascinating food, wine and spirits samples — and best of all, chef demos and panel discussions that stimulate your brain as well as your taste buds. If you want to splurge on a top-shelf festival, this is the one.
