Provence Breads & Cafe at the downtown library
The owners of Provence Breads & Cafe are headed not for the south of France, but for Southern California. Happily, this doesn't spell the end of Provence in Nashville. Not only will the current business continue, Provence may open a sister cafe in Los Angeles.
Provence is owned by restaurateur Terry Carr-Hall and his life partner Brent Polk, a physician and researcher at Vanderbilt University Medical School. Polk has accepted a prestigious job as top physician and vice president at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, which is affiliated with the University of Southern California. He'll also be chair of pediatrics at USC and a vice dean, and will serve as director of the Saban Research Institute.
