Travel Takeaway

After this experience at Husk Restaurant, I’ve been able to train my cooks on different butchery techniques as every country has their own cuts and I’m better able to tell our suppliers what exactly we are looking for. We are currently in the process of building a pit smoker, and we are trying to import our own produce so we can control the final plated dish, from start to finish.

Restaurant Profile

Located in Rutledge Hill – just a few blocks south of Historic Broadway, in the heart of Downtown Nashville – is the newest outpost of the Neighbourhood Dining Group and James Beard award-winning Chef Sean Brock renowned restaurant, Husk. At Husk, there are some rules about what can go on the plate. “If it doesn’t come from the South, it’s not coming through the door,” says Chef Brock. The resulting cuisine is not about rediscovering Southern cooking, but rather exploring the reality of its roots and heritage.
