After a great first Cincy chili experience at
Gold Star (we tried
Skyline on the way back up)...
...a trip to a farm in Bardstown, KY...
...some Sesame Street cupcakes from
Just Baked (Bardstown)...
...and my wife's 20 year reunion (still Bardstown)...
...Julia and I spent two days and nights in Nashville, TN...
...whose music gave us the idea...
...with the General Lee...
...Boss Hogg and Rosco...
...and all the extras.
...equipped with a Willie-esque fortune teller.
Other stops included Third Man Records...
...the Grand Ole Opry...
...the Gaylord Opryland Hotel...
...and the Ryman Auditorium...
...all with plenty of Minnie Pearl sitings.
But let's not forget about the food!
Hot chicken (which was even better with honey) served with some pimento mac and cheese and cole slaw.
Delicious!
Delicious Johnny Cakes with pimento cheese
Eggplant and Squid Purloo
Aged Beef Tartare (could have used some toast or bread)
Overall a great meal!
Dry aged beef tartare - the oil and greens accented it
Farro, green tomato, cucumber, medjool date, urfa biber (really flavorful)
Eggplant, sprouted lentils, fermented chili, peanut butter (wish I had more eggplant)
Hazelnut cream, chocolate torte, peanut, salt
Oh - I also got some white anchovies from our neighbors at the next table (he just couldn't get into them).
Probably our best meal of the trip (although we really did talk a lot about the hot chicken too!).
Fried green tomatoes with tomato jelly and pimento cheese.
Grilled meatloaf sandwich (too much bread for me).
Decent overall.
********************
In conclusion...
...we really enjoyed our time in Nashville...
...and we're looking forward to our next trip back!
