I’m as guilty as anyone else of getting distracted by the shiny new spots, the celebrity chefs parachuting into our humble food scene, the Modernist Cuisine-worshiping menus. But there’s something to be said for longevity. Margot, the East Nashville staple that’s now old enough to drink at its own well-appointed bar, celebrated in style with simple, seasonal dishes that dazzle with every bite. Old favorites and new twists were trotted out over four days, with the star of the menu when I visited being a simple watercress soup that knocked me sideways with flavor.
