Best Dining Stalwart

Let’s crunch some numbers: If the James Beard Foundation says Tandy Wilson is the Southeast’s best chef, and Tandy got his Nashville break working with Margot McCormack, Margot is, by transitive property of Beard Awards, also the best. That’s just like ... math. For 15-plus years, Margot has defined Nashville fine dining. Her food is French-inspired, she’s never trendy or flashy, and she can turn out fine croquettes as easily as tomato pie. Sitting at Margot Café’s rustic stone bar sipping a cocktail, you know you’re about to eat beautiful, honest food. Some things never change, and that’s because they don’t need to. ASHLEY BRANTLEY
