Where to Find Nashville’s Best Iconic Dishes | Eater Nashville
"Possibly a little known fact: Nashville is home to the largest Kurdish population in the United States. Music City’s “Little Kurdistan” is located in South Nashville, where excellent food from the diaspora can be found at restaurants like Edessa, hidden in an unassuming strip mall. There, the kabobs are wildly popular, grilled over open flame and served on skewers dangling dramatically from tabletop stands. The Adana kabob is particularly iconic, composed of ground lamb and beef with herbs and spices, exceptionally excellent when dragged through Edessa’s creamy hummus. For a group, however, you might as well order the “Kabob Festival,” an absolute bonanza of meats accompanied by all the mezze, soup, rice, and baklava for dessert." - Ellen Fort
