"James Beard Award semifinalist Andy Little is making his Pennsylvania roots permanent at his 12South restaurant Josephine by rolling out a new happy-hour menu (Wednesday–Sunday, 5–7 p.m., available for dine-in or carryout) that features a $7 double-patty burger and five variations on the Philly cheesesteak — the balboa (shaved ribeye “whiz with” plus onions), the paulie (mushrooms, peppers, and pizza sauce), and the mighty mick (lettuce, tomato, Duke’s mayo, and American cheese), among others — with cheesesteaks priced $12–$15 and served with Utz potato chips. For curbside pickup call 615-292-7766 (a 20% service charge applies); bar seating is open at 50% capacity; guests are required to wear masks when entering, leaving, and to/from the restroom; and the regular dinner menu is also available for delivery via Postmates. Little’s background — raised on Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, a Culinary Institute of America graduate who worked under Patrick O’Connell at The Inn at Little Washington, had a stint at Evermay-on-the-Delaware, led the fine-dining restaurant at The Sheppard Mansion, moved to Nashville in 2013, and was a 2017 and 2018 James Beard semifinalist — informs Josephine’s menu that merges his Pennsylvania Dutch roots with Southern hospitality." - Delia Jo Ramsey
