"One of Eater’s 2022 picks for best new restaurants in the country, Sean Brock’s East Nashville ode to his grandmother Audrey boasts a museum-worthy art collection, historic photographs, patchwork quilts on the walls, and, of course, a world-class kitchen. If you snag a reservation, look for Appalachian-inspired dishes — like the heirloom Jimmy Red corn grits topped with sorghum-cured egg yolk and Appalachian salt-risen bread — served on incredible plateware. For a special night out, book a tasting experience at his 37-seat space June, located right above Audrey. You’ll have a full view of the chefs meticulously plating your meal and Brock’s food laboratory while you wind your way through 15-plus courses. —JGJ" - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Ellen Fort
