There are entire websites and Facebook groups dedicated to gone-but-not-forgotten Nashville restaurants. But aside from lots of bemoaning, nobody ever really does anything about it. Nashville chef Jeremy Barlow of SloCo/Insert Chef Here in 12South, however, has decided to shine a spotlight on our fallen heroes and actually bring some of them back for fun pop-up recreations at his flexible restaurant space at 2905 12th Ave. S.
After a little crowdsourcing, Barlow has come up with a list of 54 beloved but bygone local restaurants, ranging from fancy spots like The Wild Boar and Mario’s to more casual eateries such as Omni Hut and Hog Heaven. After compiling the list, Barlow set up a bracket, March Madness-style, to determine a final champion based on fan voting.
