Every city has their own quirky personality, their own unique spin on local fare and faraway eats. Here in Nashville, the newly minted foodie city makes way for all sorts of delicious treats, from 100-layer donuts to deep fried macaroni & cheese balls. We may be in the deep south, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get ALL sorts of creative with food from around the world and down the block. If you ever find yourself in Nashville, these ten dishes and treats should be HIGH on that list of yours.
The fact that you can follow up your fruit tartine with a delicious latte makes this Nashville eatery option even more tempting. Crema is well-known throughout the city for their delicious baked goods, fantastic coffee and espresso-based drinks and streamlined atmosphere. It's a great place for a light lunch and a good book.

The fantastic "bonuts" from Biscuit Love have turned into a tourist magnet, so we'd recommend hopping on the freeway and checking out the new location in Franklin.

Is there anything better than macaroni & cheese?! Yes. Deep-fried macaroni & cheese. Burger Up makes sure that this surefire appetizer hit is everything decadent, and we'd recommend a few orders for the table. (Various Locations)
