Bill's Sandwich Palace

"Every neighborhood needs a go-to sandwich shop, and Bill’s is the one in East Nashville. It’s a simple, bright space that focuses on formidable hand-helds using fluffy bread stacked with a kaleidoscope of meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Take the towering CBP that’s stuffed with a fried chicken thigh resting in pimento cheese and a pool of barbecue bacon jam, or the Mamma Mia, with garlic-ginger chicken meatballs shouldering a toasted bolillo roll. But all of that’s subject to change, because the menu rotates weekly and they often sell out. Pair one of their creations with some housemade chili cheese puffs and a can of local-to-Nashville Maypop and you’ve got a lunch guaranteed to make Subway’s “sandwich artists” weep $5 footlong-shaped tears." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak, adam sloan

"A sandwich palace surely deserves a spot on the list, and Bill’s is East Nashville’s go-to for stacked sandwiches like their classic turkey piled high with sliced tomato, banana peppers, caramelized bacon, a hash brown, and cheese, or — if you’re feeling adventurous — a daily mystery sandwich. They rotate their specialty sandwiches every two weeks, so there’s always something new to pique your tastebuds’ interest. Pair your plate with a Caesar salad (made with broccoli, cucumber, and red onion) or a bag of chips, all of which can be ordered in-store or online for pickup." - Kellie Walton, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"Chefs and buddies Ryan Bernhardt, Aaron Clemins, and Aaron Distler joined forces for the ultimate sandwich pop-up — available only on weekends at TKO. The cast of sandwich options rotates — including an elusive mystery sandwich each week — but fan favorites include the badass Bill’s beef (with Bear Creek Farms chuck roast), the Philly phanatic, and the Evansville special meatball sandwich, plus the colorful vegetarian-friendly supreme. Follow along on Instagram for weekly menus and for ordering instructions." - Delia Jo Ramsey

"Bill’s Sandwich Palace, a collaboration between Ryan Bernhardt, Aaron Clemins, and Aaron Distler, will initially open as a pop-up and later offer weekend lunch services inside TKO in Inglewood. The menu will feature sandwiches, pasta, salads, and sides." - Delia Jo Ramsey
