"City House was one of the first restaurants that made people take Nashville seriously as a food city. One of the big reasons is the frico. The dish melds montasio cheese and potatoes in a skillet so that it forms a crispy crust on top that crackles into a gooey, creamy custard—like a savory creme brulee. An honorable mention goes to City House’s belly ham pizza with an added yolky egg on top—a Nashville OG designer pie." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
