The biscuits at Loveless Cafe are heavenly.
Biscuits before water. This is how every meal at Loveless Cafe starts out. Serving probably the best biscuits in all of Tennessee (over 10,000 a day), Loveless Cafe has had the same tried ‘n’ true biscuit recipe since it started out as a fried chicken stand along the highway in 1951.
Over half a million people from locals to celebs alike make a pilgrimage to this spot just outside of Nashville to slather these petite biscuits in fruit jam and butter. They only ever close on Christmas. That means biscuits 364 days of the year.
Hattie B’s hot fried chicken has the perfect amount of spice.
Hot chicken is supposed to make you a little uncomfortable. The spicy poultry at Hattie B’s has such a legion that it opened up six locations just to handle the hot chicken fandom. At Hattie B’s, it served in traditional fashion with a slice of white bread and pickle chips.
Make what the locals call a "hot chicken taco." Take the white bread that sits under the chicken, pull off a few pieces of skin, meat, a pickle chip and fold it up. Heat levels range from mild to "shut the cluck up," so fiery you might leave with a hot chicken hangover.
Killebrew Coffee's blueberry crumble bun is the perfect breakfast.
Lisa Marie White is the Willy Wonka of pastry. The James Beard award nom is delighting Nashville with her whimsical viennoiserie, particularly with her croissants, homemade pop tarts, cinnamon swirl skillet buns and blueberry crumble bun. A cross between a blueberry loaf, cinnamon roll, and coffee cake, all eyes follow this bun as it crosses the room. The fruit changes seasonally, so that’s just one out of a billion reasons to keep coming back to Killebrew.
