Nashville Is Experiencing a Dumpling Renaissance Weâre looking at a ton of wontons â plus, big news from Proper Sake's Byron Stithem Tweet
MANJU Wonton Soup
Outside of trips to Lucky Bamboo or the erstwhile International Market, Nashville has been a pretty barren spot when it comes to seeking out premium dumplings, except in the chicken broth at Cracker Barrel. That is, until lately, because weâve been blessed with three new options for those seeking excellent examples of these steamed and sauteed morsels.
Weâve already told you about Locust, Trevor Moranâs new 12South dumpling and noodle emporium, but Iâm happy to speak of it again. Since opening in October, the neighborhood has definitely taken to Moranâs current carryout-only model, but weâre all waiting until he can offer full service and leverage the talents of general manager and sake sommelier Kynsey Hunter who wowed us during her stints at Two Ten Jack and The Green Pheasant. Only better things lie ahead for Locust, and theyâve already been pretty damned fine so far!
