What's included

Lunch, told as a neighborhood story

Five tasting stops

Four savory stops plus dessert at locally owned East Nashville restaurants. There's plenty for lunch, so keep breakfast light.

Chef-driven dishes

East Nashville is where the city's most creative kitchens live. This route eats through the neighborhood's best of them.

The neighborhood's story

How East Nashville became Nashville's creative food capital, told between stops on an easy sub-1.5-mile walk.

A small group

Capped at 12 guests, so every stop feels like being shown around by a friend rather than herded on a tour.

Christine's take

"Our own tour covers downtown, so when guests ask where to eat on the east side, this is the tour I point them to: chef-driven dishes, funky spots, and the story of how the neighborhood became Nashville's creative food capital."

— Christine, A Little Local Flavor
