"Husk is a great place to introduce visitors to Southern ingredients. They’re serious about sourcing—there’s a list of the purveyors and farms they use right when you walk in—but some things are also grown right on the property itself. It all makes for delicious brunch plates like White Lily biscuits with sausage gravy, hummingbird cake with smoked cream cheese, and cornmeal fried catfish with cole slaw. Husk is reliably consistent and situated in a really cool historic mansion in Rutledge Hill. Plus, on a beautiful Nashville day, the patio out back is as charming as ever for an intimate brunch." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
