Every year, Bon Appétit Hot 10, publishes a list of America’s Best New Restaurants. And it all starts with just 50 nominees. Andrew Knowlton visited Nashville, giving one nomination to a Nashville restaurant, Franklin owned, Biscuit Love.
Bon Appétit says, “These are the spots that killed it this year. The restaurants range from a quintessential French bistro to a place that serves pretty much only hummus, an eclectic brewpub to a vodka-soaked Russian joint. The one thing they have in common is this: flat-out deliciousness.”
Andrew Knowlton says this is what you should order at Biscuit Love- the East Nasty (biscuit, fried chicken, aged cheddar, sausage gravy), bonuts (fried biscuit dough)
What he loves about Biscuit Love-John’s Ham Bar, a special section of the menu that offers tastes of aged country hams from Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky. And, yes, you get biscuits with them, too.
See the entire list below. There is one more Tennessee restaurant on the list-Porcellino’s in Memphis.
On August 18th, Bon Appétit will publish their top 10 list.
