Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes
Overview
East Nashville has always done things its own way. Five Points and Historic East Edgefield grew back from the 1916 Great Fire with Victorian streets, an arts corridor, and a food scene rooted in Tennessee tradition. Your tour starts at Hunter's Station, a former automotive garage on Main Street, and moves through blocks shaped by the same spirit of reinvention. The food follows: Local Hush Puppies, a 2-Bone Rib (Southern style), Bee Bite (Yemeni Honey Pastries), Nashville hot chicken, a crispy catfish taco, and a Secret Dish kept under wraps until you're there.
12SOUTH - Uncover the city's trendiest avenue with our guides. Explore vibrant streets boasting cool coffee shops, stylish eateries, and restored buildings. Discover unique shops and maybe even a celebrity-frequented dress store. Indulge in the finest local bites and drinks during this exciting adventure!
