A5 WagyuSmoked Old Fashioned

Bourbon Steak

Helmed by Michelin Star Chef Michael Mina, Bourbon Steak features sophisticated design and a compelling menu that combine Nashville roots with cosmopolitan panache. This sky-high setting is home to unparalleled views of downtown Nashville, highquality cuts of beef and a dragon’s hoard of whiskeys.

Accompanied by the details of the process, Bourbon Steak’s cocktails are mesmerizing tableside offerings. The Old Fashioned features the typical — sugar, Angostura bitters and hickory smoke — and the unusual: Blanton's Bourbon, mellowed by the fat of an A5 Wagyu steak. This process, known as fat-washing, leaves no fat in the drink, just a beautiful, round flavor and caramel aroma. Santé!

Caesar Salad

VALENTINO’S RISTORANTE

Valentino’s has been a mainstay in Nashville for decades: The backdrop for many memorable meals, this establishment is known as an excellent spot for music industry leaders to meet and mingle. For couples dining out, a dish prepared tableside can add to the romance of the evening, and Valentino’s Caesar Salad is the perfect example.

The basic preparation involves egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and house-made croutons. In preparing this traditional first course, however, each server adds their own flair to the salad. One may add more garlic; another may add less vinegar. Inviting the diners into the process, the assembler becomes a part of the tableside experience as they describe and execute the construction.
