Welcome, Fall! With the changing seasons comes a change in what we are craving, and with fall that often means comfort food. October is our most delectable issue of the year, filled with some of our favorite dishes and beverages available in Middle Tennessee.

There is an art to creating a flavorful dish that not only satisfies our taste buds but evokes memories. The aroma of certain spices and foods can bring us right back to our childhood kitchen table, which can be incredibly powerful and comforting. Food brings us all together, and whether we are sharing a meal with loved ones or enjoying a night out on the town, the time spent while enjoying food is invaluable.

As always, thanks for reading, and we’ll see you around town! Eat something amazing today!

Nashville Ballet 202223 Season To Highlight Female Artists

Nashville Region Leadership Visits Fort Campbell

Nashville Bar Association Secures New Executive Director

Known for collaboration and creativity, Nashville Ballet will work alongside an all-star line-up of both local and nationally renowned female artists for the 2022-23 season. The highly anticipated repertoire will include brand-new works by multiaward winner Sidra Bell, international dancer and artistic visionary Cathy Marston, local composer and producer Larissa Maestro, multi-cultural creator Windship Boyd, and newly appointed Resident Choreographer Mollie Sansone. The 2022-23 season kicks off Oct. 6 with "Cinderella" at TPAC’s Polk Theater.

Twenty-three business leaders, human resource professionals and community partners recently participated in the Nashville region leadership visit to Fort Campbell, which is a joint effort by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the US Army’s Ft. Campbell Installation designed to get buy-in from employers in supporting and recruiting transitioning soldiers to stay in the Middle Tennessee region. On the visit, employers witnessed demonstrations, participated in firearm training simulations and participated in an aerial tour.

Abby Sparks was named new executive director of the Nashville Bar Association, effective Sept. 7, after a thorough process led by NBA search committee members. The association was established in 1831. With more than 2,500 members, NBA is the largest metropolitan bar association in Tennessee. “I'm excited to work with the board and membership to further the mission. I’m especially grateful to Monica Mackie for her leadership and guidance during this transition period,” Abby shares.

Celebrate Fall Dining at June and Audrey THE CELEBRITY CHEF’S FIRST SOLO VENTURE AND SHOWCASE RESTAURANTS IN NASHVILLE

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES WILLIAMS

Southern American celebrity chef and cookbook author Sean Brock is on a self-proclaimed mission to contribute to Southern culture, community and cuisine in lasting and impactful ways.

The chef is doing exactly that in Nashville through his two recently opened restaurants that provide unmatched culinary experiences.

This July, Sean launched a "very Zen," tasting menu restaurant called June. Located in East Nashville’s McFerrin Park, the new restaurant has just 37 seats and was intentionally designed to create intimate, experimental journeys about exploring the freshest, most luxurious ingredients in novel ways. Rather than traditional courses, meals are served in what Sean refers to as “acts.” Each dinner service has five acts, composed of 18 to 20 different preparations. This long-format tasting menu with several small bites in-between courses is known as “oshinogi” in Japanese dining.

“I wanted to do more than just cook food at Audrey. I wanted to create a place that allowed our team to be healthy and happy. We strongly believe the health and happiness of our team will allow us to take better care of our guests.”

— Sean Brock

“My goal for June is to always push what's possible with Southern food and hospitality. From my perspective, a tasting menu provides an opportunity to share the best products and techniques available,” Sean declares.

He says he plans to update the June menu eight times a year, twice each season.

Literally just downstairs from June's space is sister restaurant Audrey, which Sean opened in October 2021 as his fivecourse flagship Music City dining establishment. For it, he says he drew inspiration from his Appalachian roots, Southern traditions, and his maternal grandmother, Audrey. (June is Audrey's middle name.)

Raised in rural Virginia, he's actually been involved in the repatriation of the Southern pantry and cuisine for a couple of decades.

Audrey's menu includes selections such as strawberry gazpacho, Jimmy Red corn grits, greasy beans and Bucksnort trout. The Bar offers five distinct, new cocktails daily, which are made with only three seasonal ingredients each, sourced locally to reflect Appalachian regional tastes, such as pawpaws.

Many people know Sean through his recipes. In 2010, he won the James Beard

Award for Best Chef/Southeast and is a four-time finalist for Outstanding Chef, as well as a three-time finalist for Rising Star Chef. His first cookbook, Heritage, is a New York Times bestseller and winner of the 2015 American Cooking James Beard Award. In 2019, he released his second cookbook, South, which was nominated for a James Beard Award and also became a New York Times bestseller.

Sean hosted season two of the Emmy Award-winning television show Mind of a Chef, produced by Anthony Bourdain. He was featured on season six of the popular, food-centric Netflix show, Chef’s Table.

Both June and Audrey are located at 809 Meridian St. 615.988.3263 AudreyNashville.com JuneNashville.com Note: Southern food crusader Sean also operates in Nashville The Continental restaurant at 1000 Broadway, Suite 101, as well as Joyland, a comfort food haven, at 901 Woodland St., Suite 101.

Chef Star's Shrimp and Grits

CHEF STAR MAYE’S DEBUT COOKBOOK SPOTLIGHTS SAUCES, SOUPS, SANDWICHES AND ESPECIALLY BRUNCH

34

O UR TOWN | EV ENT PL ANNI NG + S E RVI CE S

A STAR AMONG US CHEF STAR MAYE Chef Star Maye certainly lives up to her name.

Though the chef has only been in her role running the kitchen at Hillsboro Village’s Anzie Blue since mid-2021, Executive Chef Star is already a shining beacon of talent, tenacity, and inspiration in Music City and beyond.

Star is a Black LGBTQ veteran who grew up in a big family in Excel, Alabama, where she learned to cook alongside her grandmother.

She said Sunday dinners at her grandparents’ house were the epicenter of it all — big gatherings with plate after plate of delicious southern food.

“People came from all around. It didn't really matter -- they'd drive an hour. We've had people pull over for directions and never leave. It's a thing, you know, it was a lot of fellowship and camaraderie within my family.

Not just us and the family, but just people in general. My grandmother didn't meet a stranger,” recalled Star.

And neither has Star. Her personality and her smile are irresistible and light up the room. The chef says her favorite meal to cook is breakfast. Her favorite childhood memories involved being awakened from sleep in the mornings to the smell of bacon and sausage cooking. And as luck would have it, it’s Star’s

love for breakfast that would first get her on the team at Anzie Blue — and before long she was running the kitchen and making the place her own.

Star views Anzie Blue as an extension of her own home — a place she wants everyone to close their laptop, relax, and take a break from the negativity of the world.

“We feed everybody. That was always the thing: feeding everybody. No person should be hungry because my grandmother taught us when we were young that food is a necessity for the human body. Everybody has to eat, regardless of how they may feel. Food is the only way to bring everybody together. It doesn't matter your color, your creed, or your sexual orientation, nothing matters. ‘Cause everybody's gotta eat," says Star.

It was her love for her staff that first inspired what later turned out as her debut cookbook, "A Star Among Us: A Chef’s Story", which was released earlier this year. It was also a COVID diagnosis that provided Star the time to do so. The chef recalls her time spent quarantining. She said her symptoms weren’t too bad, so she just started writing down recipes for her staff. Then, once she was done she paired them up with professional photography she

35

had on hand. Once it was curated the chef presented the finished product to Anzie Blue’s co-owner Marcie Allen Van Mol to print for the staff, and Marcie said "No, this is a book!"

And Star’s first cookbook was born, which she dedicated to her mother Judy Maye, son Trenton, and grandmothers Reatha and Ellen.

Besides running the kitchen and writing cookbooks, Star also curates a few fun offerings every month, from drag brunch and gospel brunch to jazz brunch every weekend and a host of other events including a new cooking series where she’ll teach attendees some of her go-to dishes for the holidays.

Love Language Food That Speaks To The Soul ARTICLE BY MYRA MCENTIRE

When Crosby Keltner signed the lease for the former Bound’ry location downtown, he needed a fresh concept and name for his new restaurant. “Every chef I’ve had the fortune of working with uses food to express their creativity ... to paint a picture,” Crosby says. “It’s how they communicate. It’s their love language.”

Love Language is an upscale eatery that boasts a vibe best described as Pedro Almodóvar meets Andy Warhol (for delicious food and cocktails). “We really loved the bones of the building, and we kept it simple with green plants and fresh paint. The architecture speaks for itself,” says Crosby. Local artist Joe

Sannutti makes his mark inside, with riveting colorful art installations that play nicely with the early 1900s Greco-Deco edifice and minimalistic design.

Offering a sophisticated menu featuring Spanish, French and Italian influences, the first-floor displays a sleek bar, cozy dining booths, and a generous counter with seating and a bird’s eye view of the wood-fired oven. However, Love Language isn’t just a pizza restaurant. “We structured the menu with lots of small plates to encourage shares for the table. We’re also planning a chef’s table with a limited set menu and wine and cocktail pairings,” Crosby says.

He adds, “I wanted to do something upscale, and finding the right chef was essential. I was very lucky to find Chef Brad Webb. He really engaged with me. When I described what I wanted, Brad said, ‘I can absolutely do all of that.’ He’s very sociable and engages with the patrons. He does table visits and talks to people about the food. That stood out to me in a big way.”

Crosby recommends his two favorite menu items: the Beef Tartare with capers, confit yolk, and EVOO toast, and the Molasses Durac Pork Chop with cannellini beans, cippolini, and Jimmy Nardello peppers. Wood-fired pizzas -- Margherita, Garden, and Bianca -- are also on offer.

As for drinks, Crosby suggests Out of Bound’ry, a bourbon cocktail named in honor of the building’s history. “In addition to cocktails, we have a 25-bottle wine list that we’re growing into 150 bottles over the next few weeks, and we’re ramping up our happy hour.”

Renovations are underway on the second-floor bar. “It still has the garage doors that open up like windows. We plan to use the mezzanine for cocktail space and small parties. The third floor will have its own identity as an event space, and it’s called The Caldwell. Brittany Olsen, the owner of Studio B Consulting, has run events worldwide, and now she’s helping develop concepts for us. We’ve already had about 30 events there, from small birthday parties to concerts for 200 people." Outside caterers are currently allowed, but eventually, Love Language will handle all food in-house.

As for the vibe, Crosby says, “Today, it’s good to be Instagramable. We can do a lot of fun stuff with the food and cocktails. It’s a great spot for date night, girl’s night, a business dinner, or a place to meet friends for drinks before a night out." With infinite opportunities for that picture-perfect moment, social media enthusiasts will delight in the decor and imminently photographable food.

“Every chef I’ve had the fortune of working with uses food to express their creativity ... to paint a picture.”

“Ultimately,” says Crosby, “we’re bringing an iconic location back to life. Love Language is happy to be a part of the restaurant scene in Nashville.”

Located at 911 20th Avenue South in Nashville, Love Language is open Wednesday through Sunday, 4-10 p.m.

PINK DOOR COOKIES FIND WHIMSICAL COOKIES AND SPRINKLES EMBEDDED IN FLOOR AT THIS TINY SWEET SHOP

Founded by Chopped champion and pastry chef extraordinaire Mathew Rice, Pink Door Cookies serves up some of the prettiest and tastiest cookies ever seen.

Located on the ground floor of the BentoLiving in Chestnut Hill building at 321 Hart St., Pink Door is the comforting, albeit COVID-19-inspired, quarantine cookie creation and success story by pastry chef Mathew Rice that Nashville really needed after enduring the devastating March 2020 tornado and COVID-19 closures.

In April of 2020, after being laid off due to the pandemic, Mathew began offering cookies each week for preorder after an astounding number of replies to an Instagram story to gauge interest. He immediately succeeded, baking hundreds of cookies each week, all available for contactless pickup each weekend on the front porch of his home, which was marked by a pink door (hence, the name).

Rotating whimsical cookie flavors include Mathew's signature chocolate chip, a nostalgic, purple-splashed PB&J cookie, cotton candy cookies, and more. They’re available by the cookie, but can also be purchased by half-dozen or by the dozen for sharing (though one may not want to). Rotating “gluten-free-ish” options are also available — wheat-free cookies, but they are made in the same kitchen as the other cookies.

A baby pink menu beside the window lists flavor options for the day, while fun polaroids of each cookie list ingredients on the right. On the left, a merch wall displays neon logo shirts, mugs, hats and more for sale.

On opening amid a pandemic with no end in sight, Mathew says he just wanted to bring some type of comfort during a scary, uncertain time for all. He began with the classic chocolate chip and built on from there, adding new classic and reimagined flavors each week — most all of which are now featured on a rotating basis at Pink Door's tiny storefront and walk-up window.

“I’ve wanted to open a cookie shop since I moved to Nashville, and even though it was the year of most uncertainty, I just felt like everyone needed cookies.

What started as texted orders and front porch pickups has led to lots of new friends, and now a place for sharing what I love with anyone needing a sweet treat. I just want to try and help make your day a tiny bit better,” says Mathew.

3. THE PATTERSON HOUSE: Named for Tennessee Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, The Patterson House in Midtown uses high-quality ingredients to create both modern and classic cocktails in a luxe, dimly lit setting. Yes, the bar has a sign on the door and isn’t such a secret to find, but open since 2009 it’s got clout as the Godfather of speakeasy-style bars in Music City and placed Nashville’s cocktail scene officially on the radar nationwide.

The Patterson House also offers a small food menu ranging from shareable snacks to more hearty options and a few sweet treats to boot. In 2010, The Patterson House was honored as one of Bon Appetit’s Top 10 Cocktail Bars, and in 2015 and 2016, it was named a semifinalist for Outstanding Bar Program by the James Beard Foundation.

Silverbelly Whiskey is the new premium spirit distilled exclusively for and hand-selected by country music superstar Alan Jackson. Named after the color of Jackson’s signature cowboy hat, Silverbelly seamlessly blends American whiskey tradition with that of classic country music.

“Silverbelly Whiskey contains the best of both worlds…

Distilled in the heart of the bourbon trail but headquartered here in Tennessee, it bucks the current trend that a brown spirit has to be over 100 proof to be considered premium. A perfect combination of sweet and heat, this 91 proof packs a punch but also has brown sugar notes that makes it a quality sip for Alan Jackson fans and bourbon/whiskey connoisseurs alike.” - Silverbelly CEO Robbie Goldsmith The whiskey batches are named in chronological order after Alan Jackson’s 35 chart-topping hit songs. The current batch available in select states across the U.S. is called “Here In The Real World.” It’s smooth in texture with a medium-light body, and the flavor profile is subtle oak and traditional flavors of caramel, spiced apples and toasty brown sugar -- perfect for an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan on a chilly fall night.

Silverbelly Whiskey launched in Tennessee this June and in only 40 days, it sold more than 20,000 bottles in nine markets across the US. Silverbelly is scheduled to be available in 40-plus states by the end of October.
