Food, cooking and restaurants reflect the down-home spirit of Nashville, the people who live there, and their many cultures and cuisines. Culinary traditions here are firm, but there is a dynamic food/dining evolution taking place––from homey mom and pop cafes to chic new eateries. The New Nashville Chef’s Table features recipes for the home cook from the city's most celebrated eateries alongside beautiful photography.

The 2005 guide tells you all you need to know from dress codes to parking options at each restaurant along with photos of ambiance and specialty dishes. Buyers of the book who have less than an exceptional fine-dining experience at a DiRoNA restaurant may obtain up to a $200 refund on their restaurant bill.
