Chef-driven tasting menus can get a bad rap as overly precious tweezer food where the plating is more important than the food itself. The Catbird Seat has shattered that stigma in the past by hiring a string of chefs who care about the entire dining experience, but never anyone like Andy Doubrava and Tiffani Ortiz. The couple is known for their nomadic pop-ups where they actually lived in their vehicle on farms and cooked amazing meals as a way to pay for their passage. By emphasizing local farmers, fishermen and foragers and eschewing food waste at all costs, they are leading by example, despite being new to Nashville.
