About this experience
Your tour begins at Hunter's Station, a former garage on Main Street now home to local businesses reflecting how East Nashville reinvents itself. Start with Hush Puppies, the right introduction to a delicious local dish.
Next, taste a Bee Bite, a sweet-and-savory Yemeni pastry stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with honey, showing the neighborhood's evolving global scene.
Next, a southern staple done right: a 2-bone rib, southern style. Plus, no East Nashville tour skips the hot chicken. Ours is fiery, layered, and sourced from a spot that takes it seriously. After you will taste a crispy catfish taco at a quiet anchor of the Five Points food scene.
Finally, a surprise Secret Bite captures the heart of the city's cuisine, at a spot once a gritty rail hub, now lined with early 20th-century storefronts. You'll leave with a clear sense of how East Nashville carries its Southern roots into something entirely its own.
