REVAMPED & REIMAGINED Written by Melissa Mahanes
We had the pleasure of dining at the newly reimagined Tavern at Bobby with a fully revamped food and beverage menu. Nestled in the far end of the 4th Avenue North Bobby Hotel’s lobby-the rustic wood, music-inspired artwork, and cozy leather banquettes are the perfect socially-distanced pods to enjoy the new menu. With the reopening of Tavern at Bobby, new Executive Chef Jorge Gonzalez brings his passion for global flavors and innovative culinary techniques from his more than 15 years of experience. He assisted Chef Tom Colicchio in the opening of Craft Dallas, worked as a sous chef for nearly a decade at Fearing’s inside the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas, and was Executive Chef of Chef John Tesar’s James Beard Award-nominated concept, Knife Dallas. He then transplanted his family to Maui, 66 slmag.net
Hawaii, for two years, and his time there has undoubtedly influenced his clean, tropical flavors. Chef Gonzalez spent his first six months in Nashville living upstairs in the Bobby and made the most of his sequestered time to perfect and reimagine Tavern at Bobby’s menu. He now lives in Mt. Juliet with his wife and children, and they have begun raising chickens with the intention of adding other farm animals to their pastoral homelife. He told us how much he loves Tennessee, and we are happy to have this talented chef in our neck of the woods. Now open for reduced-capacity dining for dinner on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, Tavern at Bobby’s menu is designed to share many different dishes or to hone in on your own entrée and supplement with a glorious variety of sides.
