"One of Nashville’s finest hidden treasures is the Lao Thai Cafe inside the unassuming Asian grocery store on Antioch Pike. Go where the locals go — and find top notch Thai and Lao dishes at extremely reasonable prices. Not sure what to order? The place is filled with photos of the food and the menu is fairly easy to navigate, even for first-timers. Try the fried pig intestine, pork ears or blood cake if you’re feeling adventurous. Traditionalists can stick with the chicken noodle soup, spicy sausage, and pad Thai — all solid choices." - Kristy Lucero, Delia Jo Ramsey
