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.
