This Is Nashville

Our bread and butter: Nashville’s changing food landscape


Listen Later

We’ve all been hearing significant chatter about the landmark restaurants we’ve lost in the last few years. What exactly makes a “landmark” restaurant, and are we experiencing more loss than normal? Or, are we just cycling through some nostalgic sensitivity as storefronts reach their inevitable finish line?

To chew on some of these questions, we’re bringing long-time restaurateurs to the table. We’ll hear about how they started and, for some of them, how it ended. We’ll also talk with some folks about Nashville’s changing restaurant scene and how they’re pivoting to make it work – 100 hours a week.

But up first — it’s Thursday! That means @ us!

  • Dandgure “Mr. Dan” Robinson, owner of Dandgure’s

  • Jeff Jones, owner of Dairy King

  • George Ramzy Sawers, owner of Ramzy’s Meat and 3
