38 Essential Restaurants in Nashville
"Named after Texas’s own Willie Nelson, Shotgun Willie’s in East Nashville is leveling up the Nashville barbecue game — it’s all about the slow-cooked meats and bourbon banana pudding here. In a simple space adorned with plenty of Texas memorabilia, Bill Laviolette’s menu nods to both his Texas upbringing and his new Tennessee digs with award-winning brisket, Tennessee-style pulled pork shoulder, and smoked chicken." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
