Central BBQ Brings Smoked Meats to Nashville’s Capitol View Soon | Eater Nashville

"I confirmed via drive-by visits and tips that Memphis-based slow-smoked meat merchant Central BBQ opened its Capitol View Nashville outpost for friends and family over the weekend, though restaurant representatives say they won’t officially open to the public until sometime in early November. Founded by Craig Blondis and Roger Sapp, Central BBQ started smoking meats on Memphis’ Central Avenue in 2002 and has since expanded to three other locations there. The Nashville location will offer the same menu as Memphis, leading off with starters like a sausage and cheese plate, wings, and pulled pork–plastered nachos, and for the main event serving brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and chicken smoked over hickory and pecan woods alongside classic Memphis dry-rubbed ribs. Located at 408 11th Avenue, the outpost joins Clean Juice, M.L. Rose, Starbucks, and Your Pie in the mixed-use project from Northwestern Mutual and Boyle Investment Company." - Delia Jo Ramsey
