The 25 Best East Nashville Restaurants - Nashville - The Infatuation

"We need more Thai and Texas BBQ mashups in our life. Enter: Curry Boys. They just opened in the old Lou space, pumping out hot links covered in queso and brisket bowls with shreddy meat floating in curry. It’s a fast-casual operation and our new go-to for a late lunch, casual dinner, or a round of whiskey and thai lemonade cocktails on the patio. They’re coming from San Antonio, so there’s some real Texas BBQ pedigree happening here. The grind on the snappy hot links strikes the balance between not too smooth and not too grainy, and the brisket has a smoke ring as thick as a stalk of lemongrass." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak, adam sloan, bailey freeman
