Where to Find Nashville’s Best Iconic Dishes | Eater Nashville

"Brown’s has been operating since 1927, when it was opened in a converted mule-driven trolley car just outside of Hillsboro Village. Its narrow dining room and bar with leather-covered stools has been the destination for nearby music row execs, songwriters, stars, and everyone else for the entirety of its time, drawing all kinds of regulars for its renowned cheeseburger. It’s a simple affair — a meaty patty topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and Duke’s Mayonnaise, with pickle chips speared atop the bun — that has kept this diner going for almost a century. That, plus the first beer license in Nashville and a crew of devoted regulars and employees who’ve been there for decades, make it one of Nashville’s low-key legendary destinations." - Ellen Fort
