Atlanta | Join Me At Kimball House
Whenever I travel, there’s nothing I love more than seeking out the local establishments that exude the character and charm of the city.
For my fellow Nashvillians, this was Arnolds’s Country Kitchen. It was not simply a meat and three, but rather a restaurant rich with tradition, incredible hospitality, and some of the best damn food I’ve ever eaten.
Bastion's Bingo Game: A Fresh Take on Tasting Menus
I have been a fan of the Goldberg Brothers for years. They single handedly changed my twenties opening up one of the very first trendsetting bars in Nashville, Bar Twenty3. As their Nashville footprint grew, they launched Strategic Hospitality, responsible for 75% of my favorite bars and restaurants in Nashville. Anytime I hear about one of their concepts brewing, I can't wait to check it out.
I’ll be honest: fish just isn’t my thing. I’m not the person at the table ordering the branzino or raving about the quality of the crudo. Seafood, for me, has always been that category I quietly sidestep. Of course, there’s always an exception, but rest assured, you won’t find me ordering salmon for dinner. So when everyone in my orbit started raving about Kase X Noko as if it were some sort of spiritual experience disguised as a tasting menu, my reaction was exactly what you would expect. I was skeptical. Very skeptical, in fact.
