Noshing in Nashville: My 5 favorite food spots (part 2 of 2)

1.) Monell's

This was my second trip to Nashville and the only place I ate at last time that I had to eat again was Monell's.

My visits to Monell's are always so exciting that I forget to photograph anything. I went with my friends Rumeysa and Daniel who've just moved to Nashville and I think we all had a great time. The family style seating and service is a great way to meet new people and enjoy some southern cooking.


2.) Thai Phooket

Thai Phooket has near perfect ratings on any website including mine. I wasn't expecting a taste of Thai when I was in Nashville and almost didn't make it to Phooket, but I was near downtown and had remembered being recommended Phooket while doing the "honky-tonk" thing with my friend the previous evening. The Pad-Thai was amazing. Every individual element was tasty: crunchy sprouts, spicy shrimp and savory sticky noodles.
I seriously would consider having someone mail me some Pad Thai along with a bag of "Dark Latte" roasted coffee beans from Davis Cookware.

3.) Family Wash

I can be a little neurotic about planning to say the least. I like to know what places I'd like to try before I get there, that said, I'm also totally fine when things don't go as planned.
I headed to the East Side of town on Friday night expecting to eat at Silly Goose, when I got there I realized they were closed for renovations. I remembered from last trip peeking into a crowded bar called the Family Wash that had a really fun atmosphere, at the very least I figured I get a pint of Flat Tire and listen to some live local music. I was surprised to find a Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie filled with: lentils, roasted garlic and vegetables smothered in mashed potatoes topped with plenty of extra-sharp cheddar cheese. Family Wash had just the type of home-style food I was looking for!




4.) Sky Blue Cafe in East Nashville

I love breakfast. I especially love it when I can get about all of my favorite breakfast foods on one plate.

Pictured above is: Stuffed French Toast, with bacon, eggs and pancakes to top! (They also do it in Nutella with banana.)


5.) Local Taco

Taco wise it kind of reminded me of our "local tacos" Big Truck Tacos, but with really amazing cocktails. (Which was pretty perfect after my delayed flight to Nashville.)
