The Mayor of Flavortown has some beloved go-to eateries in Middle Tennessee. More than a dozen have been featured on his popular Food Network show, “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
Known for it's thriving music scene, Nashville has a pretty amazing food scene too. In fact, Guy Fieri has even featured several of the restaurants on his show.
McCormack:
Cafe Rakka for baba ganoush or chicken on the sajj [tenderloins in saffron, herbs, spices and yogurt].Â
Newton and Nguyen:
Folk for pizzas and veggie-forward dishes.
Singto:
Weger:
East Side Banh Mi. Gracieâs Big Salad with tofu [papaya, pickles, fried shallots, citrus-soy vinaigrette]; any of their veg specials; and always the gluten-free cookie!Â
Surti:
Deg Thaiâs new spot on Nolensville is incredible. I get tom yum or kra prao moo [stir fry with pork, holy basil, garlic, chilis, Thai-fried egg]. Their chili tray also has some of the best spicy condiments in town.
