Cockeyed Pig, Rooster's and Tapas
A first visit to Belcourt Taps and Tapas shows eclectic decorating in a cozy Hillsboro bungalow. The house has been converted into a mellow little dining room and bar. They have quite a ways to go to get the small plate restaurant up to full steam. The pleasant rustic mustard and crimson walls need some adornment. The simple menu

Kaput and Rolling Along
Nashville Restaurants and Food
Friday Notes
Es Fernandos at FooBAR is officially kaput. The Mexican/Southwestern food was appreciated by the crowd inside the East Nashville bar, but apparently not enough to work out financially. We’ll miss those quesadillas. It was a nod to the menu of the long time favorite Mexican restaurant on Gallatin Road.
Meanwhile, we passed Phil’s Bar-B-Que at 2821

New Tapas
Belcourt Taps and Tapas is apparently open for business. The Hillsboro Village restaurant is located at 2117 Belcourt Avenue. They have had a soft opening going for about a week. Just last night they reported on Facebook that they are now serving drinks as well as food. Has anyone seen the menu yet? Is it tapas by style only or is it actually Spanish in

You walk out of a burger joint and a half-hour later you’re at the farmer’s market chatting with the farmer that raised the beef you just ate. That’s pretty cool. And the quality of the beef and local sourcing is one of the things that make Burger Up a welcome, albeit expensive, addition to

New Vietnamese and Alfresco Pasta

New Vietnamese on Charlotte
There's a new contestant in the Charlotte Pike Vietnamese restaurant competition. Ben Thanh opened two months ago at 6317 Charlotte. A first visit shows a restaurant still waiting to happen. There is virtually no decorating and a huge, nearly empty room. Everyone is quite nice. It seems like mom may be cooking in the kitchen while the

First Visit to the Blind Pig No. 55
Upscale barbecue? And on the same street as upscale burgers? Isn’t 12 South fancy lately. The Blind Pig No. 55 just opened in the same building that used to house Mirror. It’s a big room with a bunch of sports bar TVs and some of the most desperate exposed “brick” decorating that we have ever seen (please people, let it go- if

Fogatas Mexican and Baraka Bakery
Readers have been telling us to get our butts down to Nolensville Road and Old Hickory Blvd. Fogatas is the new restaurant inside the former El Manjar space next to the Lowes store. They blew out a wall and opened the place up quite a bit, which helps because El Manjar was usually packed. There is a new owner and yet they kept much

Hot Chicken and July 4th Weekend
Sunny, about 88 degrees and the smell of Hot Chicken wafting through the park: must be July 4th! Of course that was 11:45am- when we arrived at the Music City Hot Chicken Festival. We were surprised to see virtually no one in the vendor lines. They switched it up this year opting for one gigantic free Hot Chicken line, freeing up

I have no idea why I keep coming back to this place. And if that sounds like the start of a bad review, it’s not. This Mexican joint has me perplexed. So, bear with me.
Los Mariachis is a sucky name. That said, I stumbled in one day hungry, looking for something new and not willing to travel further than

Music City Hot Chicken Festival
Yo, fire up your tastebuds...it's almost time to celebrate Hot Chicken! Of course every day is a good day to celebrate Hot Chicken, the Nashville original flamethrower dish. July 4 is a little hotter because the celebration brings hundreds of chicken lovers out to the park to sweat together. The Friends of Shelby Park have announced
