"NASHVILLE There are lines everywhere in Nashville—for the best hot chicken and basically every bathroom in every bar on Broadway. You won't find a line at Locust, though, because the 10-table restaurant is reservation-only, and a competitive one at that. You’ll need to put in some work to indulge in perfectly crisp chili oil dumplings and fluffy cups of shaved ice. Bookings open on the first of the month for the following month on Seven Rooms, so set your alarm for 10am or sign up for a priority alert, on the off-chance that someone gives up their seat.
