Nashville’s Culinary Scene Sparks Excitement with Unique Collaborations
It’s an exciting time in Nashville as the city embraces new culinary adventures that highlight an array of flavors and cultures. Over the next few weeks, local restaurants are teaming up with talented chefs to bring a series of special dishes to the vibrant food scene. Let’s dive into what you can expect, grab a fork, and get ready to savor some delicious collaborations!
Dabeli Delight at Bagelshop
First up, we have the Dabeli sandwich, making a special appearance at Bagelshop, thanks to a collaboration with Chef Vivek Surti from Tailor. This sandwich celebrates Diwali and showcases the richness of Gujarati street food. Scheduled for October 29 and 30, the Dabeli features a spiced potato patty paired with sweet tamarind chutney, spicy chili peanuts, and crispy sev (which, by the way, is crispy chickpea noodles for those who might be wondering!). All of this deliciousness comes nestled between a freshly made onion bagel.
The Dabeli is bigger than just a sandwich; it represents a fusion of flavors prepared with love, as every ingredient is made in-house under Chef Surti’s guidance. It all takes place at 2708 Old Lebanon Pike. Don’t miss this opportunity to indulge in a unique bite that pays homage to tradition.
Mimo Restaurant’s Musical Feast
Next on the fabulous lineup is an enchanting event at Mimo Restaurant and Bar, located in the cozy Four Seasons Hotel Nashville. On November 11, the restaurant is partnering with the acclaimed Nashville Symphony for a night that combines Italian-inspired cuisine with classical music for a truly memorable experience.
This four-course dinner, priced at $150, will feature dishes inspired by different classical compositions, ensuring your taste buds are treated to something special. Sous Chef Nicky Miscia will be pairing each dish with wines selected by restaurant assistant GM Stephanie Dumont, creating an experience that marries food and music beautifully. Plus, musicians from the symphony will grace the evening with a mix of classical and contemporary pieces to enhance the atmosphere.
Reservations are required and can be made online or by calling 615-610-6990. As a nice little perk, your reservation grants you three hours of free valet parking – perfect for enjoying a stress-free evening out in the city!
A Taste of the Yucatan at Fonda on 12th
If you’re curious about Southeastern Mexican cuisine, mark your calendar for November 12 when Chef Roberto Santibañez at Fonda on 12th invites Chef Roberto Solis from Merida, Mexico, for a special Taste of the Yucatan Dinner.
This six-course meal promises to introduce you to a culinary world that goes beyond the usual Mexican fare Nashvillians often encounter. Dishes include a delightful turkey consommé with masa dumplings, sea urchin served on a tortilla “boat,” achiote-roasted pork belly, and Cornish game hens stuffed with a savory picadillo stew. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
The evening starts with a cocktail reception and passed appetizers, leading into the mouthwatering courses paired with wines from La Cetto and cocktails featuring Xtabentún Liqueur, a honey and anise spirit. At just $95 per person, it’s a steal for a culinary adventure of this caliber. Reservations can conveniently be made via Resy.
