When you close your eyes and picture a table full of Southern comfort food, what do you see? Piles of steaming fried chicken? Creamy mac-and-cheese? Tangy baked beans and coleslaw? Indeed, family-owned The Southern V has all that and more, with one little catch: everything is plant-based. Yup, you wouldn’t guess it by the looks of their biscuits and gravy and barbecue jackfruit, but the entire menu at The Southern V on North Nashville’s Buchanan Street is vegan and, more importantly, every bit as delicious and soul-soothing as traditional recipes loaded with meat, dairy and eggs. And if you happen to catch ’em frying up doughnuts, be sure to grab one of those, too. MEGAN SELING
