"Brian Riggenbach and partner Mikey Corona moved to Nashville in 2016 to open the Mockingbird with long-time friend Maneet Chauhan — and the Gulch restaurant has been a brunch staple ever since. The whimsical decor matches the fun energy from the menu — exhibit a: plastic bags filled with sparkling wine and a straw; exhibit b: cream cheese-stuffed bagel balls coated in everything spice. (Honorable mention goes to the vanilla brioche French toast.) If the donuts are on the menu, be sure to place an order." - Kellie Walton, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
