The state’s FIRST astigmatism SMILE® procedure (small-incision laser vision correction)
T
he state’s first astigmatism treatment using the new SMILE® procedure (small-incision laser vision correction) was successfully performed on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 in Nashville, T.N. at Wang Vision 3D Cataract & LASIK Center. Dr. Ming Wang, MD, PhD, performed this surgery. SMILE® is a major advancement in laser vision correction in the last 25 years. Compared with LASIK, SMILE® has three dis-
tinct advantages. SMILE® is performed with a smaller incision. This surgery causes less dry eyes and less postoperative complications. Recently, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the astigmatism correction using SMILE®. “This is an exciting development. This means that a much larger group of our patients will be able to benefit from SMILE® and be freed from their dependence on glasses and contacts,” Dr. Wang explained.
Mr. Ross Ronan is a 47 year old healthcare executive. All of his life, he had suffered from poor vision. Mr. Ronan had a high degree of nearsightedness and astigmatism. This distorted his vision. Without correction, his vision was worse than being legally blind. Mr. Ronan said that he was truly excited to be the first patient in the state to receive the new and stateof-the-art astigmatism SMILE® procedure! Dr. Wang is a Harvard & MIT graduate (MD, magna cum laude) and one of the few laser eye surgeons in the world today who holds a doctorate degree in laser physics. He has performed over 55,000 procedures, including on over 4,000 physicians. He has published nine textbooks and many scientific papers including one in the world-renowned journal “Nature”. Dr. Wang holds several U.S. patents and performed the world’s first laser artificial cornea implantation. He is currently the only surgeon in the state who performs 3D SMILE® and LASIK (18+), 3D Implantable Contact Lens (21+), 3D Forever Young Lens (45+), and 3D Laser Cataract Surgery (60+). Dr. Wang established a nonprofit charity which to date has helped patients from over 40 states in the U.S. and 55 countries. All sight restoration surgeries were performed free-of-charge. For more information, visit www.wangcataractLASIK.com, call 615-321-8881, or email Dr. Wang at drwang@wangvisioninstitute.com.

behind the scenes
Burke Conley Growing up an only child in West Tennessee, Burke Conley learned to cook out of “latch key necessity.” Today, he oversees a team of 17 as executive chef and director of design for G Catering. He learned to satisfy crowds working his way up in the hotel industry, but it’s his ability to consider the needs of each client and draw inspiration from their surroundings that makes every event a truly unique experience. For eight years at G Catering, Burke has consistently wowed people with inventive menus and intriguing displays, truly thinking outside the box to create memorable and outlandish ways to elevate an event. Chef Burke caters nearly 1,000 events each year, but even so, he took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to chat with us. by holly hoffman photograph by daniel meigs
What is your favorite dish to make for yourself? Chile pepper shrimp in garlic butter with a crusty baguette What’s the most unusual dish you’ve ever made? That’s a tough one because I am always trying to challenge myself and the team to think out of the box or re-imagine something familiar. Some of my favorites have been chocolate mousse toothpaste, edible chocolate lipstick, beet fruit roll-ups, wild boar corn dogs, grilled corn panna cotta and bone marrow onion marmalade.
The Basics
Name: Burke Conley Profession/Title: Executive chef and director of design, G Catering Hometown: Selmer, Tennessee Zip code: 37076 Years in Nashville: 28 Most people served at an event: 7,000 First catering job: Opryland Hotel
What’s the most memorable event you’ve catered? Oh gosh, I have been so blessed and thankful to have been part of many memorable events: The CMT Artist of the Year Awards; the Nfocus 25th was so much fun creatively; HCA for 6,000 people; private dinners for numerous country music and television stars; wine pairing dinners with Nashville Wine Auction and countless weddings. It is so hard to pick one. What are your favorite restaurants? Chauhan Ale & Masala House, Henrietta Red and Josephine. For lunch, definitely Joey’s House of Pizza and Taco Lopez. What’s the best place for cocktails? The Mockingbird, Gertie’s and Casa de Montecristo (for a good cigar) When you have out-of-town guests visiting, where do you take them? Downtown. You just can’t explain in words to someone about rolling hay rides, party barges, “boots and skirts,” rooftop bars, kamikaze Bird scooters, crane skylines and honky-tonkin’.
What’s your favorite locally made product? “The Music City experience” — everything from hot chicken to honkytonks For a quiet getaway, where do you like to go? My screen porch and Rosemary Beach in Florida What is one luxury you can’t live without? Family time What trait do you most admire in others? Respectfulness What’s your favorite local event?

Avant Garde: Moulin Rouge nashville Cares transported guests to The City of Lights with Avant Garde: Moulin Rouge. This year, costumed revelers enjoyed an evening of “magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous bedazzlement” with a stellar performance by The Princess from season four of RuPaul’s Drag Race and a risqué show by Music City Burlesque. After dining on a Parisian-inspired feast from Bacon & Caviar, everyone was ready to cancan to tunes from 12South Band. The lively fundraiser supports Nashville Cares in its mission to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Middle Tennessee. by Holly Hoffman photographs by Eric England

Outside the Box
NASHVILLE
outside the box for Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee has two purposes: to honor a leader in Williamson County with the Outside the Box Award and to sample delicious desserts made by area restaurants and bakeshops featuring Girl Scout Cookies. This year, award-winning singer Brenda Lee was recognized for the confidence and character she has consistently displayed since her career began at 11 years old. As for the cookie contest, Cork & Cow, Momma Nik’s Cheesecake and Papa C Pies all presented enticing confections, but the ice-cream sandwiches with Tagalongs from Merridee’s Breadbasket took the cake — I mean cookie. by laureN laNgstoN steWart PhotograPhs by Eric England continued on page 22

Broadway Brunch Launch Party supporters of nashville Rep gathered at Tànsuŏ to kick off the much-anticipated Broadway Brunch. The main event — co-chaired by Fletcher Foster and Laura Kimbrell — will be held on May 5, and the crowd chatted away after the receiving the exciting news that Charles Esten will serve as honorary chair and former artistic director David Alford will be receiving the Applause Award. But the highlight of the night was the performance from husband-and-wife duo Cori Anne and Tyson Laemmel, an exciting taste of what’s to come at the beloved musical brunch. by Lauren Langston stewart photographs by Daniel Meigs

Low Country Luxe Pairings brings the Holy City to Music City
P

airings: The Ultimate Wine and Food Weekend matches world-class wines and gourmet food and teams local culinary geniuses with out-of-town chefs to benefit the Nashville Wine Auction. This year, inspiration came from Charleston because the Holy City is as well known for its fabulous food as it is the steeples that dot its skyline. Bon vivants refused to let bad weather keep them away from guest chefs Kevin Johnson of The Grocery and Jim Stein of McCrady’s. Things kicked off on Thursday with the Private Vintner Dinners. Those lucky enough to hold tickets for the sold-out evening braved the downpour to make it to homes where featured winemakers partnered with popular Nashville chefs for special feasts. The next night, City Winery threw open its doors for Wined Up, where a thirsty — and rain-weary — crowd enjoyed offerings from 26 West Coast vintners and delectable bites from the visiting low country chefs. The weekend wrapped up with the Pairings dinner where guests indulged in fantastic food and more celebrated wines. Held at City Winery, partygoers began the festive night with a tasting reception and appetizers from City Winery’s Donnie Counts. In the kitchen, Trey Cioccia and Chad Kelly of The Farm House and Black Rabbit and Jeffrey Rhodes of Butchertown Hall and Liberty Common joined chefs Kevin and Jim to put finishing touches on the memorable five-course menu. Wines were paired with each course, and vintners shared special bottles with anyone lucky enough to be seated with them. Dessert from Marsh House’s Lisa Marie White made a luscious end to the decadent meal. Just as epic rainfall didn’t dampen spirits at Pairings, it had no effect on supporters’ generosity during the silent and live auctions over the weekend. More than $500,000 was raised — up a colossal 25 percent from last year! Once again, the Nashville Wine Auction demonstrated that it knows how to put on a fabulous party and raise valuable funds to defeat cancer at the same time. by Holly Hoffman photographs by Daniel Meigs continued on page 30

Rain or Shine Storms can’t keep away supporters of Winter Lights
I
n spite of torrential storms and February flooding, the annual Winter Lights fundraiser, benefiting programs of Family and Children’s Service, carried on without a hitch. The popular event, held at the Hutton Hotel this year, was sold out and raised a record amount. The undeterred crowd of 300 was there not only to support this worthy organization that serves as a safety net to families in crisis but also to honor Cullen Douglass, recipient of the Jane Eskind Leadership Award for community service, and Jan Dick, recipient of the Mary Jane Werthan Founders Award for agency dedication. The evening began with a festive cocktail party and plenty of activities to keep guests busy. In addition to a selection of scrumptious passed apps and luscious libations, partygoers were mesmerized by an array of entertainers positioned throughout the party. Strolling magicians, caricature artists, the music of the Marcela Pinella Trio and stations where your handwriting could be analyzed kept everyone occupied and in good spirits before dinner. After a seasonal seated dinner, FCS President and CEO Michael McSurdy welcomed the large group of supporters, and the prestigious awards were presented to Cullen and Jan. Cullen was celebrated for his years of commitment to a variety of local charities and causes, and Jan was honored for her longtime service to Family and Children’s Service as a staff member. The upbeat Erik Blue Band took over from there and all were on their feet. It was quite a party, and despite the rain and emergency weather alerts, this crowd kept on dancing throughout the night. It was clear their passion for Family and Children’s Service, and all they do for our community, could not be dampened.

Do Good, Deliciously Bowls upon bowls at Our Kids’ Soup Sunday
A
bout halfway up the escalators at Nissan Stadium, the smell was undeniable — smoky sausage gumbo, peppery clam chowder and chili spiced with cumin filled the air with their comforting, warm aromas — and Soup Sunday’s enormous crowd of 1,500 couldn’t wait to dig in. Soup Sunday has been a mainstay for more than 25 years. Every February, chefs from some of Nashville’s best restaurants and catering services gather on a latewinter Sunday to share their comforting creations while also benefiting the efforts of Our Kids, the crucial organization that aims to support children and families struggling with child sexual abuse. There were over 40 different kinds of soup on this year’s menu, and there really was something for everyone. Many soup makers set their sights on perfecting classics — Mere Bulles offered crab bisque, 12 South Taproom & Grill, a flavorful minestrone and Jim ’N Nick’s Bar-B-Q, their Brunswick stew — while others hoped to wow visitors and judges alike with more innovative flavors. Sambuca’s dill pickle with prosciutto grilled cheese was a rich cream-based soup with a bright, invigorating hit of fresh dill, and The Quarter got everyone’s attention with their dessert soup, a peanut-based concoction inspired by a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. While visitors looped back for seconds (or even thirds), perused the silent auction items and indulged in chair massages, judges including Hal Gill and Lyndsay Rowley from the Nashville Predators’ broadcast team tallied their votes. The People’s Choice award went to Broadway Brewhouse Midtown’s lobster fra diavolo. The Judges’ Choice was Sambuca’s aforementioned dill pickle soup, and the award for Most Creative was given to Funk Seoul Brother for their hot chicken miso. The best part — aside from that Reese’s soup, which was delicious — was that the event raised $131,451 for Our Kids, adding to the $1.5 million that has been raised since Soup Sunday began. What a delicious way to do good.

Hollywood’s Biggest Night Rolling out the red carpet at the Belcourt
I
f you’ve ever attended the Belcourt’s annual fundraiser, A Red Carpet Evening, you know that it’s so much more than just an Oscars viewing party. Sure, you get to dress up, eat fabulous food, drink fancy cocktails and watch everything from the red carpet to the Academy Awards ceremony on the Belcourt’s big screens, but the true highlight of this party is seeing the community of film lovers come together year after year to support our city’s art house theater. This year marked another sold-out event for the Belcourt, where memberships are at an alltime high of more than 6,000 community supporters. From the moment guests stepped into Jim Ridley Lobby — named after the beloved late Nashville Scene editor — it was clear that everyone had opinions on who should win that evening. Being Music City, A Star Is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody were clear favorites, but plenty of cinephiles were gunning for BlacKkKlansman, Roma and Vice. Rather than argue, most guest opted to hop in the photo booth or peruse the silent auction, which featured art from Emily Leonard, Arthur Kirkby and Wendy Silverman, tickets to see Kiss at Bridgestone, clothing from local designers Elizabeth Suzann and Jamie + the Jones and gift cards from area restaurants. Co-chairs and resident dream team Amos Gott and Holly Hoffman — celebrating their seventh year of planning the event — worked the crowd until it was time for guests to take their seats and watch the show. G Catering cooked up a delightful and fun menu, heavily playing on the theme of reimagined movie food: lobster corn dogs with wasabi aioli, mini popcorn buckets with cauliflower popcorn, polenta fries with bacon ketchup, and wonton crisp nachos with queso pimento cheese. Backstage, VIP guests enjoyed an impressive artisanal cheese and charcuterie display, Moroccan vegetable skewers, sliders and shrimp salad gougères. The Oscars may have lacked a host, but the Belcourt’s executive director, Stephanie Silverman, warmly welcomed the crowd and recognized the evening’s

chairs as well as the Belcourt staff and board of directors. Belcourt patrons received some exciting news during one of the commercial breaks: The Belcourt announced a matching grant from the Cal Turner Family Foundation, reaching an important finish line for the theater’s recent renovation campaign. Proceeds from A Red Carpet Affair were also a part of that match, closing the curtain on an important project to preserve the legacy of our city’s theater. Now that’s something we can all celebrate!

Worlds Collide It’s a small world at T.J. Martell’s Honors Gala
T
he 11th annual Honors Gala was held recently at the downtown Omni Hotel. This popular event, which has quickly grown, much like the city of Nashville, raised nearly half a million dollars benefiting the T.J. Martell Foundation in its quest to find a cure for cancer. Along with an elegant, seated dinner and a live and silent auction, awards were presented to outstanding community leaders along with special musical performances that celebrated each of the recipients. The performers included Amy Grant, Brad Paisley, Home Free, Michael McDonald and Old Crow Medicine Show. This year’s honorees were the Grammy Award-winning Kings of Leon, who received the Spirit of Nashville Award; Southern country rock band Alabama, who garnered the Tony Martell Lifetime Entertainment Achievement Award; Sally Williams, senior vice president at Opry Entertainment Group, who received the Frances Preston Outstanding Music Industry Achievement Award; Kathryn Edwards, professor of pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, who gained the Medical Research Advancement Award; and Sylvia and Al Ganier, the owners of Green Door Gourmet, who were presented the Lifetime Humanitarian Award. Each of the recipients were introduced by special friends who made heartwarming presentations, including Aubrey Harwell, Charlie Daniels, Garth Brooks, Steven Webber and Zane Lowe. Patrons represented all facets of Nashville’s diverse population, which often seem to overlap. The Kings of Leon couldn’t stop talking about their collaboration with the master brewer of Hap & Harry’s. It seems the brothers, along with their cousin Matthew Followill, have created a new light American lager named Neon Leon after their recording studio. Nashville star and emcee of the evening Charles Esten was spotted congratulating Sally Williams in the ballroom, which was chockfull of doctors and staff from VUMC in support of Kathryn Edwards and many of Nashville’s prestigious restaurateurs there to support the Ganiers. It just goes to show that despite the rapid growth of Music City, it really is a small world.

A Family Affair Park Center honors Edie Bass at How About Dinner and a Movie
“E
verybody loves Edie!” exclaimed Barbara Daane about this year’s honoree at How About Dinner and a Movie. As evidenced by the crowd streaming into the Belcourt Theatre, it was indeed true. Edie Bass’ children, grandchildren and friends of all ages filled 1925 Hall to celebrate her and all she has done for this city. Other family members, including siblings Johnny McBride and Jeanie Greene, flew in for Park Center’s popular fundraiser. Barbara was as excited for Edie as anyone there. In addition to their many adventures together, these two best friends have served on Park Center’s Advisory Board and are founding co-chairs of Once in a Blue Moon for The Land Trust for Tennessee with their dear friend Clare Armistead. Never one to say “no,” Edie has also been at the helm of the Swan Ball, Symphony Ball and MS Gala and served on the boards of Alive Hospice, Planned Parenthood, American Cancer Society and Ensworth School, to name but a few. With popcorn in hand, guests settled into their seats and waited anxiously for the traditional chicken croquettes from Dani Kates. Most of Edie’s 12 grandchildren were there to enjoy the meal, but others were scattered around the country. The program opened with a loving and hilarious video of those who couldn’t make it reminding Edie that they were her favorite grandchild. It was more than clear that they inherited her lively spirit. Another family member with a similar energy is nephew Pete McBride. An acclaimed photographer, filmmaker and writer, he made the night’s featured documentary, Into the Canyon. The story of his 750-mile hike through the length of the Grand Canyon not only showcases its magnificent beauty, it exposes the man-made threats to its environment. While How About Dinner and a Movie celebrated a woman who has given selflessly to Nashville, Edie Bass, by serving as this year’s honoree, once again helped raise funds so that Park Center can continue providing essential mental health services in the community.

Bet on Fun Going all in at GnashVegas Casino Night & Auction
F
ilip Forsberg approached the roulette table with a curious look in his eye. He held up a large stack of chips, grinned and then dropped them on number nine, the same number that decorates his jersey. Everyone who was gathered around the table anxiously watched the ball, wondering if the risk would pay off for the Nashville Predators’ star forward. “Twenty-six black,” said the croupier. Thankfully, the move didn’t damage Filip’s wallet, as he was betting with Gnash cash, the official currency of GnashVegas. It’s the one night a year when Bridgestone Arena is converted into a flashy, glittery casino and Preds fans and players alike come together and go all in to benefit the Nashville Predators Foundation. Attendees donned intricate masquerade masks, some with feathers, other with sequins and lace, and posed for selfies with their favorite players, breaking every so often to gamble and snack on endless samples from Omni Nashville, Baked in Nashville and, of course, Wendy’s — because it’s not a Preds party without a celebratory Frosty. The players got in on the evening’s theme too, wearing their own personalized masks that fans could bid on via silent auction. Ryan Johansen’s gold mask sported paw prints and bones in honor of his famous bulldogs, Doug and Dozer, and Ryan Ellis’ touted the Canadian flag, a nod to his hometown in Ontario. As the evening started to wind down, Filip didn’t seem too upset about his big loss. “I’m at even so far,” he told us. His strategy has worked. “On roulette, [I bet] red or black, and if it hits, I stick with it,” he says. “On poker, I try to bluff as much as I can and buy the pot.” Keep that in mind the next time you face him at the table. Call his bluff and you could end up swimming in Gnash cash.

he Ballet Ball turned 30 this year, and the memorable bash was a celebration of the past, present and future of the Nashville Ballet. An elegant evening from beginning to end, the ball was littered with hints of the past, woven throughout the décor in subtle ways by co-chairs Amy Atkinson and Amos Gott. As guests arrived at the Schermerhorn, music and bubbles wafted through the air, the latter a tribute to the Nashville Ballet’s current season, where bubbles played a role in the fall performance. In the lobby, a white floral backdrop was embellished with butterflies as a nod to the first Ballet Ball that Amos designed, 17 years ago to the day. A striking white and gray motif was used predominantly throughout the party, with captivating pops of lilac, coral and pink. In the Laura Turner Concert Hall, connecting serpentine tables flanked the room, symbolizing the bend of ribbon on ballet slippers. Amos modeled the shallow centerpieces off the arrangements from the first ball, which Clare Armistead said were lower in height “so one may speak across the table.” After a Hawaiian hearts of palm salad, leek-ash-rubbed filet and hazelnut brown butter cake from Dani Kates, Paul Vasterling — celebrating his 20th anniversary with the Nashville Ballet — took the stage to introduce Amy, Amos and honorary co-chair Dallas Wilt. Together, they honored 29 years’ worth of co-chairs and toasted to $5 million raised through the event over the past three decades. They also took a moment to honor Clare and Elizabeth Nichols, co-chairs and creators of the Ballet Ball 30 years ago, when it was known as the Masked Ball. “The Nashville Ballet prides itself on its commitment to unique and innovative collaborations,” said Paul as he introduced this year’s entertainers, The Shindellas and Louis York. “We love pairing our art with other art,” said Claude Kelly, one half of the songwriting and producing duo known as Louis York. He joked that they agreed to perform at the Ballet Ball before Paul even finished asking the question. Together, the two musical acts performed four songs alongside dancers from the Nashville Ballet, showcasing choreography from Christopher Stuart. continued on page 50

‘The Wondrously Magical Adventures of Penelope and Rosco’
Children’s Illustrated Fiction | $29.95 Praise for the book: Congratulations to Tennessee Michael on this children’s book. There are so many wonderful messages and lessons in this book. Enjoy. – Dolly Parton “... a charming and worthy book. The vivid illustrations will uplift audiences, make them smile and identify. The message of kindness is one that should reach children and their families everywhere.” – Lily Tomlin “Richard’s artwork has blessed both mine and Larry Ferguson’s homes, amongst many others. When Michael & Richard shared with me that their dream was to release a series of children’s books with Richard’s artwork we all prayed and stood in agreement that it would come to pass. When you do release these books, you’ll have this forward to include and be reminded that “Mama Dottie” told you so! You’ve blessed me with all your creativity and love. We’re bonded as family, forever Sheltered in The Arms Of God!” – Dottie Rambo, The Queen of Gospel
Release date: April 1, 2019
“Rosco & Penelope, I know the children from around the world will enjoy having these stories read to them at bedtime. Keep on Rockin’! – Love, Brenda Lee “I really related to the story where one of the kids finds out that they need glasses. When I was in Kindergarten, my teacher told my mother that I couldn’t see the board when she called on me. My mother made an appointment with the Optometrist who fitted me for my first pair of glasses. When I went to school the first day with my new glasses, I was teased mercilessly and called names like ‘Four eyes’ for my entire scholastic career. I would hope kids growing up reading this book think about their words, how hurtful they can be and learn not to tease kids for something they have no control over. Not just things like having to wear glasses, but things like skin color, birth defects, religion or anything that makes them different.” – Jim Hanks “We’re excited that a new book for children has emerged during a time we all need to celebrate diversity and inclusion. The Adventures of ROSCO & PENELOPE is an instant classic.” – Katharine “Kat” Kramer and Karen Sharpe-Kramer

What to Expect Tailor is cozy, yet sophisticated. The warm palette and rich textures — dark woods, Oriental rugs and metallic accents — began with the inherited teal banquettes. With dinners lasting about 2 ½ hours, seating (even at the bar) was chosen for comfort as well as flair. The breathtaking chandelier is among items Vivek brought from his parents’ home, and the intimate setting is completed with “little knickknacks and things” that they found, including books, antique punch bowls and Vivek’s sabering sword.
Why to Go Whether it’s date night, a birthday or simply time away from the kids, Tailor is a simple, unique and timeless dining experience. Vivek is an affable host, engaging storyteller and fantastic chef who shares the Gujarati dishes that he grew up eating at home and on family trips to India. With beverage pairings, guests can relax and have an amazing evening from the minute they walk in. As the menu changes with the seasons, Vivek is excited to share more dishes inspired by his family’s recipes.
What to Order Vivek stays true to his supper club roots and offers a set menu of eight to 10 courses. “We want people to come in and feel like they’re at a friend’s house for dinner, where they don’t have to make any decisions,” he explains. The evening begins with snacks and drinks, which are waiting on the table when diners arrive. For those who don’t opt for the beverage pairing, a full bar offers wine, beer and cocktails, such as the bourbon fruit tea punch, a boozy take on the Southern staple.

Tailor
A Nashville supper club with South Asian fare
Vivek Surti’s VEA Supper Club, the first and longest-running pop-up in Nashville, served enthusiastic crowds for more than seven years. When he opened Tailor, his own brick-and-mortar, fans rejoiced. “Tailor is named after both of my grandparents, who were tailors by profession, and it was also my paternal grandfather’s last name,” Vivek says. “The name tells a very personal story of who we are — but also the way that we want to express our hospitality, that the experience is tailor-made for you.” Settling in Germantown, Vivek converted the back room of the former Kuchnia & Keller into a space that feels more like an intimate dinner party than a restaurant. While the space is new, the experience remains the same: multi-course meals and stories behind the dishes — but more grounded in Vivek’s heritage. He is a first-generation American of Indian descent, and his menus showcase South Asian-American food, inspired by the Gujarati cuisine of his family. Working with his mom and her passed-along recipes, he developed written recipes, presentations and techniques so that the heart, soul and flavor of every dish always come through. Tailor offers two seatings, Thursday through Sunday nights. Keeping with his VEA model, guests purchase tickets in advance through the website, just as they would for a concert or sporting event. At checkout, they have the option of purchasing the beverage pairing — a combination of cocktail, wine, beer and/or saké — as well as the opportunity to make note of any special celebrations or dietary requests or restrictions. Tickets also include taxes and gratuity. With this concept, Vivek and his team “give guests an all-encompassing experience at the best price possible.”

Local restaurateur Terrell Raley, the mastermind behind dining hot spots like The Pharmacy and Butchertown Hall, has dreamed of opening a French brasserie in Nashville for years. “I’ve just always loved the vibe, always loved the service aspect of it, and just the movement, so to speak, inside of the restaurant,” he says. “[It] almost feels like it has a pulse, you know, and it’s open all day, and it changes with the rhythm of the day. So, I was always really attracted to that.” Two and a half years ago when the idea started truly taking shape, he partnered with chef Jeffrey Rhodes to determine how the concept could work in Nashville. They started exploring the commonalities that exist between French and Southern foods, and Liberty Common, a Southern brasserie, was born. The restaurant, which features Instagram-worthy interiors and a picturesque sidewalk cafe, opened at the end of 2018 in the 222 building, across the street from Ascend Amphitheater and Riverfront Park. Serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, Liberty Common lives up to its self-proclaimed title of being “a cafe for everyone and for every occasion,” evolving throughout the day from bright and airy bistro to sophisticated cocktail lounge. Chef Jeffrey uses a steady hand and a modicum of self-restraint when adding a Southern spin to traditional French cuisine. He incorporates Tennessee flavors into brasserie classics, like topping the duck cassoulet with biscuit crumbs instead of breadcrumbs or serving the trout amandine over grits. The end result is a selection of elegant dishes with an air of familiarity. The restaurant, like the food it serves, is comfortable and sophisticated — a welcomed addition to downtown Nashville’s growing dining scene. by Nancy Floyd photographs by Mayter Scott

What to Expect The restaurant is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the stomach. The interior’s black-and-white palette with copper accents feels modern and crisp, with touches of light blue and green woven throughout, adding a fresh flair. Truly offering something for everyone, the restaurant molds to meet your needs, whether you’re looking for a spot to enjoy a casual coffee meeting, a romantic date night or a leisurely brunch.
Why to Go Liberty Common offers locals and visitors alike a sophisticated alternative to the rowdy honky-tonks and tourist attractions that downtown Nashville has become synonymous with over the years. Just as comfortable for a business lunch as a romantic night out, the restaurant meets a lot of needs at once, all while providing a stellar service experience that’ll keep guests coming back for more.
What to Order The fried chicken was not only one of the launching points for the menu, it’s a must-have dish for every guest. “Instead of brasserie roasted chicken, we’re doing a fried chicken with a grilled lemon, herbes de Provence, honey and then some fresh thyme,” says chef Jeffrey. “So we kind of bring back all those flavors of the traditional brasserie roasted chicken with our fried chicken.” Owner Terrell encourages pairing the fried chicken — what he considers the quintessential Southern food — with the ultimate French drink: Champagne, a staple on the bar menu.

What to Expect When you walk into Chaatable, expect sensory overload. There are tons of bright colors, posters, saris, lanterns, umbrellas and a wall packed with 40,000 bangles. “We knew that we were edging on it being kitschy. But that’s what is beautiful about India,” says Maneet. “When you go to India, it’s the beauty and the kitschiness. It’s the beauty in the sensory overload. From the smells to the colors to the sounds, that is what India’s about. That is what we wanted to show over here.”
Why to Go If the Maneet Chauhan nameplate alone isn’t enough to get you into Chaatable, go for a different experience. While Chauhan Ale & Masala House takes more creative license with Indian dishes, Chaatable is based on the traditional flavors in Indian street food — and it’s meant to be fun! “It’s a carnival. It’s a party. The first bite, you get it,” says Maneet. “You’re going to get so many different flavors and textures. Just enjoy it. Don’t try to understand it.”
What to Order You absolutely cannot go wrong with the samosas and The O.G., a dish served with a half chicken and the classic butter masala sauce, but you should start off your meal with the Build-a-Bhel. Maneet says the foundation of the dish is the sweetness of the tamarind, the tartness of the mint-cilantro chutney and the creaminess of the raita combined with the texture of the puffed rice. From there, simply select your favorite ingredients, or try it with pomegranate, cucumber and red onion.

Chaatable Indian street food with flair
When Maneet Chauhan was a college student in India, she used to stand at her dorm room shutters after curfew and beg passersby to run to the corner and buy her a bun masala. As a child, her parents had restricted these snacks from food carts, not knowing the source of the water or ingredients, but as a poor college student, Indian street food became a common treat — especially for late-night cravings. Street food in India is so diverse and complex that you could devote your life to understanding it and barely scratch the surface, Maneet explains. Because of this, when developing the menu for her newest endeavor, Chaatable, she chose to focus on items attached to personal experiences. The Build-a-Bhel is served in lunch boxes similar to what Maneet used to take to school. By lunchtime, they would be so mixed up that she called it a “rumble tumble.” So the Build-a-Bhel’s lunch boxes are shaken at the table, “rumble tumbled” right in front of you. While Maneet’s love for India and Indian street food runs deep and evokes fond memories of growing up, Chaatable wasn’t a concept that she had originally planned. When she and husband Vivek Deora saw the space was available — once home to the now defunct Salt & Vine — she was inspired and felt it gave her a platform to work from. “For a moment we were like, is Nashville ready for Indian street food? Hell yes,” says Maneet. “It was the same question we had when we opened Chauhan or Tànsuŏ or Mockingbird. Is Nashville ready? And Nashville is so ready and wanting more.”

The Green Pheasant Japanese cuisine with a Southern spin
The Facts Address: 215 First Ave. S. Phone: 615-205-5400 Website: thegreenpheasant.com Hours: Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5 p.m.-10 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday, closed Parking: Paid lot or valet Reservations: Yes Patio: No
At this dazzling downtown den of global flavors, co-chefs Jess Benefield and Trey Burnette, the culinary duo behind Two Ten Jack, seek to merge Japanese culinary traditions with Southern foodways and ingredients. Located in the burgeoning dining district in the shadow of Ascend Amphitheater, The Green Pheasant feathers its nest with a sumptuous palette of jewel tones and warm woods, simultaneously sleek and comfortable, as elegantly diverse and compatible as the culinary traditions of East Asia and Middle Tennessee Jess and Trey have partnered with Patrick Burke, who founded erstwhile Zumi Sushi in Hillsboro Village, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise to see a sampling of sushi-grade seafood dotted throughout the menu. But The Green Pheasant branches far beyond the ubiquitous and comfortable California roll with a repertoire that includes delicacies such as bigeye tuna tartare with yellow beak chiles and chirashi, a traditional rice bowl with fish and pickled vegetables. While squid, scallops and other sushi-grade elements travel to The Green Pheasant from faraway seas, vegetables on the menu grow as close as Bells Bend, just across the Cumberland River. The result is dishes such as shio wontonmen ramen, a brothy stew of pork, shrimp wonton, chicken and smoked ham broth, greens, bamboo shoots and a half-boiled egg, marrying the traditions and ingredients from near and far. by Carrington Fox PHOtographs by Andrea Behrends

What to Expect The Green Pheasant is an eye-popping visual experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just in the origami-inspired mobiles dangling in the two-story dining room but also in the cuisine. A backdrop of rich jade green sets the stage for a sumptuous array of dishes, ranging from red-rare wagyu beef on a slate shingle to steaming bowls of noodles topped with sun-yellow eggs. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steamed pheasant dumplings or Tennessee trout fried in the wok and served with steamed buns, expect the unexpected, and expect it to change with the seasons.
Why to Go If you like sakĂŠ, ramen, ginger, sushi, happy hours, creative cocktails, chopsticks, private dining or playful menus that find thoughtful intersections of diverse cuisines, The Green Pheasant brings them all, with polish and panache, to the bustling entertainment district of SoBro. Go for lunch or for dinner before a show. Stop by for a cocktail of rum, lemongrass, sesame, mint and lime, or grab an egg salad and ramen at happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
What to Order With so many intriguing ingredients and combinations on the menu, team up with your tablemates to sample as many things as you can get your chopsticks on. At lunch, try small plates like tuna tartare, pheasant dumplings and Japanese fried chicken, or opt for a yellowtail, skirt steak, pork or eggplant teishoku set. The dinner menu is a tempting combination of hot and cold, with options such as squid with tomatoes and pink lemons, spicy crab noodles, and king salmon and Wagyu, just to name a few.

What to Expect When you walk through the doors of D’Andrews, nestled in the newly bustling downtown residential district, expect to be amazed. The room is bright and cheerful. The kitchen, visible through a gleaming glass wall, is spotless. And while the countertops in the bakery abound with flour and butter, there’s lighter fare, along with several gluten-free items, to balance things out. Most unexpected of all, the gorgeous pastries taste as good as they look.
Why to Go Whether you’re a downtown dweller or a sightseer from the suburbs, you’d be hard-pressed to find a place more firmly established in its Nashville roots than D’Andrews, a nameplate born and raised in a family of local tastemakers. So, if you’re looking for a sampling of authentic Nashville, both past and present, stop by for coffee or kombucha, a breakfast sandwich or BLT, and a box of pastries almost too pretty to eat.
What to Order We’d love to tell you to build your own salad using the clever formula of kale, arugula or mixed greens; candied pecans, watermelon radishes, snow peas or roasted broccoli; chicken or tuna. We could direct you to select an artisanal sandwich piled with lemon chicken and smashed avocado on focaccia. But, alas, all we can say is: pastry, pastry, pastry! In particular, we recommend the gluten-free orange-almond cake with white chocolate mousse and the exquisite oversized macarons, the size of a hockey puck and with a sublime texture somewhere between candy and clouds.

D’Andrews Bakery & Cafe An airy bakery with Nashville roots
You just might recognize D’Andrews chef-owner David Andrews from the men’s department at McClures. As a younger man, David worked in his family’s beloved Belle Meade clothing store before it closed in 2002 and yielded its landmark location at the Highway 70-100 split to Escape Day Spa and 360 Bistro. After cutting his teeth in Nashville retail, David headed to New York, where he attended the Institute of Culinary Education, majoring in pastry cuisine, and spent more than a decade in some of Manhattan’s best kitchens. (While he was in New York, the retail fashion veteran also worked nights at Barneys along the way.) David credits three years at Gotham Bar and Grill with developing his creative culinary skills and six years at Kimberly Hotel with teaching him the business end of restaurants. Now, David is back home in Nashville, leveraging business skills and good taste — not to mention a fair bit of butter — in a charming downtown bakery. D’Andrews offers a beautiful and comforting roster of coffee, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soups and build-your-own salads, but it’s the enchanting assortment of pastries on display, like flashy baubles in a jewelry shop, that will lure patrons from well beyond Church Street to treat themselves to a sweet delicacy — and perhaps nudge chef David to open a satellite shop or two in neighborhoods outside the urban core.

Niewold s l l a R Ann marries Brown d o r r e J
Ann Ralls Niewold and Jerrod Brown met through mutual friends in 2012 at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Jerrod proposed on Dec. 30, 2017, in front of the cross in Sewanee after taking a hike with Ann Ralls. He arranged to have both families in town to celebrate afterward. They married on Dec. 29, 2018, at West End United Methodist Church with the Rev. Brandon Baxter officiating. Matthew Phelps played the organ, and Pat Kumkee was the trumpeter. Ann Rallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dress was originally worn by her maternal grandmother, Betty Goodall, in 1955 and by her mother, Laura Niewold, in 1984. She carried a bridal bouquet of white roses and greenery by Terry White of the English Garden. Her bridesmaids wore designs by Hayley Paige Occasions from Bella Bridesmaids. The wedding reception was at Belle Meade Country Club with dancing to the tunes of Musical Fantasy under a winter sky seen through a clear tent decorated with golden fabric, thousands of tiny lights and sparkling chandeliers. Dance floor props including tiger masks, light-up boas and fairy wings added to the festivities. Continuing the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve feeling was a bubbly bar serving French 75s. Dulce Desserts created the five-tier wedding cake with layers of vanilla buttercream and fresh strawberries, spice cake and chocolate chip cake. Dori Thornton Waller of The Social Office helped plan the event. At the end of the night, the newlyweds drove off while firework fountains sparkled all around them. Ann Ralls, a graduate of University of Richmond and Belmont College of Law, is an attorney with Stites & Harbison, PLLC. Jerrod, a graduate of The University of the South, is an investment advisor with The RowlandBradford Group of Raymond James. Their parents are Laura and Charles Niewold of Nashville and Laura and Jerry Brown of Toccoa, Georgia. by Sandy Nelson Photographs by Mary Rosenbaum

Home Sweet Home After raising $4 million during a capital campaign, TNFP moved into its new home at 5904 California Ave. in December — a stone’s throw away from St. Luke’s Community House, where it also operates a kitchen and makes meals for children in the preschool program as well as for seniors through a mobile meals program. “We see food as a powerful connective tool,” says Teri, “one that can be used to do so much more than just fulfill a physical hunger.”
The Nashville Food Project photographs by Elke Hoffman and Make it Pop Creations
When visitors to The Nashville Food Project’s new home in The Nations walk into the airy 6,000-square-foot space, what they don’t see might surprise them. “We see our work as kind of stepping away from the idea of emergency food that so many people are familiar with,” says Teri Sloan, director of development. “People walk in these doors and they expect to see something they’ve seen before. They expect to see a soup kitchen or a food pantry, and that’s just not what we’re doing. We’re taking a different approach.” Whether it’s the vegetable gardens where staff and volunteers encourage community involvement in planting and maintaining plots, a massive kitchen where volunteers prepare 5,000 meals to be delivered weekly to 35 partner agencies or the many other food-centric activities held throughout Nashville, the mission remains the same. “We’re very intentional about the fact that we see hunger as part of a larger system — this cycle of poverty,” says Teri. “If we don’t do something to address the other aspects of the cycle of poverty, we’re never going to alleviate hunger because it’s all part of it.” To that end, TNFP provides meals for activities such as Project Return meetings for men and women transitioning out of the prison system, during literacy programs for kids after school and at GED classes for single moms. “When you have a meal that was made from scratch, by hand, it’s so much more powerful than just the food itself,” says Teri, adding that the meals incentivize participation and allow the organizations to focus on what they do best. by Whitney Clay
Thyme to Plant
Growing Together
Waste Not, Want Not
TNFP oversees two types of community gardens — Neighbor Gardens and New American Gardens for immigrants and refugees who want to learn to use their skills here. The gardens give participants a place to build a sense of community as well as provide fresh produce to take home to their families. The gardens are located in Wedgewood-Houston and North Nashville, with one soon to be established in Mill Ridge Park in Antioch. TNFP also offers training workshops and furnishes gardening tools.
Through its program Growing Together, farmers who came to the U.S. as refugees from Burma (now Myanmar) and Bhutan have access to land, training and marketing assistance. They sell online and at farmers markets and have just established a CSA so customers can receive fresh produce every week. The program gives those with farming knowledge a way to utilize their skills here and earn an income while doing so. TNFP leases 1.5 acres of land on Haywood Lane for the farmers to use.
TNFP has about 20 restaurants, grocers, farmers and caterers that donate regularly. Whole Foods donates about 2,000 pounds of food a week to the organization. “It’s food that’s getting close to its sell-by date or doesn’t look quite as pretty anymore, but it’s still perfectly edible,” says Teri. One restaurant, Green Hills Grille, vacuum-seals, freezes and gives their meat and fish trimmings to the nonprofit to use in recipes with pasta or dishes like beef stroganoff.

EquipmEnt includEd I’m dating a really great cook, but she’s pretty full of herself too. For her birthday, I wanted to cook for her at my place, but she showed up with her own pans. She even brought her own napkins to set the table. All I got to provide was a bottle of wine. She even told me what kind to buy. At least I got to give her a gift. I was ticked off, but I didn’t want to tell her because it was her birthday. I kept my mouth shut. Was I right? —Anonymous, Bellevue Did she pack the dishwasher before she left? You offered her a lovely evening, but here’s the big birthday surprise — she chose not to accept it. She already had her own party in mind. You could have laid down the rules, heated up the grill and had the baked potatoes in the oven when she walked through the door. You could have told her to leave her cookware in her own kitchen. She was the guest; you were the host. It’s as simple as that. But it doesn’t seem that’s what she wanted. It was her birthday, and she wanted to cook, even at your place. It may not have meant she didn’t trust your cooking. Instead, there was some old-style role-playing going on. You were offering a new game, but she didn’t play fair. It’s after the fact now, but go ahead and tell her how you feel. Next time, if there is one, take her to a restaurant. Maybe there she’ll stay out of the kitchen.

thE Out-Of-tOwnErs My boyfriend and I were in New York for a major trip this last month. I wanted to go to a really fine restaurant, so he let me pick one. At the table, he behaved pretty well, but when the salad arrived, he asked for more pepper — before he’d even tasted it. He did the same thing with the entrée. I guess that’s what he does all the time, but I’d never noticed. The server looked a little shocked, and he arrived with little bowls filled with pepper and salt. I wanted to die. I thought about apologizing. Should I have? —Anonymous, The Gulch The server’s job is to pass plates, not to pass judgment — no matter how fine the food. Trust me, servers in white-tablecloth restaurants have seen worse behavior before. You had no reason to feel intimidated, even if your boyfriend asked for extra salad dressing on the side. In better restaurants — and in some not-so-good ones — the assumption is that what’s being served is being presented the way the chef intends it to be. When the server comes back to check on the food, you and your boyfriend have every right to ask for salt and pepper. You might even want to send the whole thing back, but let’s not get into that dreaded possibility. The server brought the little bowls. Let’s hope that your boyfriend didn’t ask the server to take pictures of you with your food. In that case, the server could have said “no,” without losing his job.

Tasteful Memories When longtime Nashville residents start thinking of iconic restaurants that have closed over the years, it stirs equal parts love and longing. They remember first dates and first jobs, and those who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t old enough to have gone at the time have heard about the hilarious exploits and touching occasions of those who were. These splendid matchbooks come from some of the places that make up the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culinary history. So take a trip down memory lane; reminisce about these bygone and beloved restaurants, and hopefully it will prompt a special recollection of your own.
