Nashville Classics with a Twist: Don't Be a Tourist Trap Tourist
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
- Hot Chicken: Nashville's siren song (with a kick!). Hattie B's is a local legend, but be warned, this ain't your mama's fried chicken. Pro tip: Don't be shy about asking for a "heat index" recommendation. Nashville Hot? Medium? Maybe just "Southern"? Listen to your gut (literally, it might thank you later).
- BBQ: You can't go wrong with some smoky, slow-cooked goodness. Jack's Bar-B-Que is a Broadway staple, but for a bit of a show, head to Robert's Western World for some down-home eatin' and line dancin'.
