Hey there fellow travelers, Mark here with Walters World and today we're here helping out Jocelyn with Simply Jocelyn
0:04
And we're here in Nashville and today I want to talk about some of the things you need to eat when you do come here to Nashville
0:10
because this is definitely not just a music city, it is an eating city as well
0:15
And the most famous food that you have from Nashville, which is spread all over the U.S. now, is Nashville hot chicken
0:22
Don't worry, here you don't have to call it Nashville hot chicken, you just call it hot chicken
0:25
but what it is it is fried chicken that after it's fried up they kind of dredge it drizzle it
0:31
dunk it depends where you go in this kind of cayenne pepper sauce it is so good and yes it
0:37
is spicy and i will warn you your first few bites you won't notice the spice but then after a while
0:43
you're like oh oh oh that's that's a little half that's why they give you the white bread underneath
0:48
so that'll help with the heat okay so just have a heads up and there's tons of places you can get
0:53
it when you are here. Two of the most popular places are Prince's and Hattie B's. But honestly, you can get great hot
0:59
chicken pretty much all over towns. So you locals that are watching, put down your favorite place to eat Nashville hot
1:05
chicken, just so the people that come here can enjoy your favorites because it is a must because it's not just hot and
1:11
spicy, it's actually tasty and hot and spicy. Now, the second thing I think you're willing to have when you are here, and it's
1:18
going to take you some time to get it. But go to Loveless Cafe, get their biscuits because that the must and any other food they have there whether it the country ham the fried chicken any of the southern fare that there And the thing is it a little bit of a drive out of town but it worth it And when you get there you proud not to wait a while because it actually kind of a small location but it worth it
1:37
Our friends Sandra and Charlie, when they come up to visit us in Illinois, they go 45 minutes off the highway
1:42
just to go to Loveless Cafe, wait for 45 minutes to get in, eat, and then 45 minutes back to the highway
1:47
to come up and visit us, because it is that good. So Loveless Cafe is a must when you're here
1:52
And another thing you probably want to have when you are here in Nashville, if you're getting tired of the hot chicken
1:56
because there's more food than hot chicken here. Barbecue, okay? The ribs here, pulled pork, smoked wings
2:02
You can eat good barbecue all over town as well. So just ask the local you mean
2:06
or some that's pseudo from here, because there's a lot of transplants
2:10
what their favorite place is. And they can give you some good advice for some really good barbecue
2:14
And I know barbecue is a Southern thing, but there's another Southern thing that's all throughout Tennessee
2:17
and that is meat and three. If you're not sure what meat and three is, you pick your meat, whether it is, you know
2:23
fried catfish or fried chicken or pulled pork, or ribs or whatever, you get three sides to go with it
2:29
Maybe you want mac and cheese and coleslaw and mac and more mac and cheese. I like mac and cheese, obviously
2:35
Baked beans, potatoes. There's so many different options. The corn, I had fried corn on the cob
2:40
So good. But that meat and three thing is something you're definitely going to see coming around
2:45
So grab it. If you're downtown, you can get to Arnold's Country Kitchen. That's kind of like a go-to place to really get some really good southern fare
2:52
But get that meat and three when you're here. So there's so many places you can grab that meat
2:56
Three you see a lot of cafeterias you can go to which is you know a line you pick out you say I want this meat and they have the sides you pick from and they have alternating like food every day so make sure you see what they going to have an offer so you get the best of the meat and threes when you here I highly recommend this
3:12
place it is awesome so definitely check it out if you're going to be downtown it's easy to get to
3:17
just a few blocks from the country music hall of fame and I did just mention this but I think it's
3:21
also important to say that another thing you can eat when you're here in Nashville is actually
3:25
catfish and you can have it blackened, you can have it fried, you can have it grilled. Honestly
3:32
fried catfish is the way to go. You can get the filet or you can get like little like catfish
3:36
fingers for a starter, but that's something you can have. As Joss would say, it's not for everyone's
3:42
taste because catfish has a distinct flavor, but I grew up eating it as a kid, so it's all good to
3:46
me. Now you might be thinking, Mark, okay you got us some foods, but what do we drink to wash
3:51
things down. Well, sweet tea obviously is a big thing here and
3:55
unsweet tea unfortunately becoming more popular because you have a lot of people that moved here. But sweet tea, they
4:00
do a good job with that here. If you're looking for some adult beverages, obviously Tennessee whiskey, I mean, you're 90
4:05
minutes from Linsburg to go to the you know, the Jack Daniels brewery, but they got local distilleries here you can go see
4:11
but probably the one you'll see a lot of people having a few too many on when you're on Broadway with the music and stuff are
4:17
bushwhackers. Okay, if you're not sure what a bushwhacker is, It's rum and Kahlua
4:21
It's basically an adult, not milkshake, but like an adult frosty kind of thing that you'll drink
4:27
It's super refreshing. I mean, it's super hot now. And yesterday I was sweating bullets and I had one to kind of cool off but you see those quite a bit The thing is is it morning time here and I thinking about what I want to eat when I here And I think there two kind of breakfast things I want to mention
4:42
One, if you can get into the pancake pantry and get any of their creative pancakes, it's worth the wait
4:49
That's one thing. Second thing, if you're looking for something a bit faster, a little more handheld
4:54
there's actually some really good donut places when you are here. Five Daughters Bakery with their cronut, I guess the croissant donut. That's awesome
5:03
Donut distilleries got these little mini donuts that are really good. Josephine's. There's a lot of different, you know, donut places for you to enjoy. So you have that
5:10
And I think it's important to mention if you are going to be here and you aren't going to be able
5:15
to drive around to go out to Prince's or Hattie B's or donut distillery, there's this place called
5:20
the Assembly Food Hall on Broadway, where a lot of the famous eateries around town have kind of
5:26
like a kiosk in there. And no, they don't have the full menu, but it can give you a taste of the food
5:31
from those places. Now, I'm not going to say it's going to be as good. I think it's about 80% of the
5:35
way there. But if you want Prince's, you know, hot chicken, you can get it there. The Tender's
5:39
you can get that there. There's a Hattie B's there. You can get the mini donuts from Donut
5:42
Distillery. You can get a taste of it without having to drive out to some of these places
5:47
Okay, so I hope this helps you know a few things to eat and drink when you're here in Nashville
