Description

Dive into the soul of Music City on our East Nashville Food Tour, exploring the eclectic Five Points and Historic East Edgefield neighborhoods. We kick things off with Mini Whiskey Glazed Donuts as we pass landmarks like East Nashville Magnet High School. As we wander past the Red Rose and "I Believe In Nashville" murals, the neighborhood's gritty creative spirit comes alive — shaped by a legendary music scene and a bold culinary landscape. That boldness shows up on your plate with Pulled Pork BBQ and our tour-exclusive Nashville Hot Chicken, balanced by a Pineapple Cider for beverage upgrade guests. Strolling past Caldwell Guitars, Woodland Studios, and Fanny's House of Music, your guide shares stories of the artists who turned these streets into a global creative hub. We also celebrate the region's river roots with a crispy Catfish Taco. As the afternoon settles in, we unveil our award-winning Secret Dish — a legendary comfort classic kept under wraps to preserve the surprise.
