Where to Find Nashville’s Best Iconic Dishes | Eater Nashville
"Patti Myint was a Nashville icon, full stop. The matriarch of International Market, a Thai market and restaurant that opened in 1974, Patty brought a world of flavor to Nashville when the city didn’t know its pad thai from its pad kee mao. Now, the restaurant is run by her children, chef Arnold Myint and his sister Anna Myint, who runs the front of the house. Patti’s salad is offered as a special at various times of the year, and it always brings back the regulars. The salad is really a platter of components that are rolled together and eaten as a lettuce wrap, centered around a protein like ginger-pepper pork, then surrounded by a dozen small bowls filled with peanuts, limes, pickled garlic, onion, toasted coconut, Thai chili, herbs, sweet radish, green bean, lemongrass, crispy shallot, lettuce, rice vermicelli, and tamarind chili sauce." - Ellen Fort
