"Your English lit major friend who graduated from Smith is coming to town and demanding a brunch date. Lou is the answer. Located in a craftsman cottage in East Nashville, Lou’s is a homey spot conducive to long-winded conversations about Proustian existentialism. The brunch menu here is interesting and a bit quirky in the best way possible. Exhibit A: the chocolate maple and buckwheat pancake with malt butter. Exhibit B: a fried mortadella and burrata sandwich topped with fig chutney, bitter greens, and aioli. Along with a few glasses of pet-nat or sour ale, the dishes are worthy of a conversation all their own—Proust won’t mind sharing the spotlight." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
