My Music City Hit List

As a Nashville native and a food and wine enthusiast, I’m always in pursuit of legendary restaurants and amazing food. If my Instagram and bathroom scale are to be believed, the past few years have been extraordinary.

Ever since I started Blonde Voyage Nashville, there are two questions that I am often asked: “ where should I eat when I come to Nashville, and what’s your favorite restaurant?”

Those questions are about as polarizing as Chicago pizza and Nashville hot chicken. However, there are so many wonderful places in Nashville, it can be hard to choose. Am I right?

Whether it’s your first time in Music City or perhaps you just need to break out your “restaurant rut” and seek out the unfamiliar, I’ve put together a list of my favorite places in Nashville. This list will make sure you are caffeinated, satiated, and have the absolute best Nashville experience.

If you are a Music City local, recent transplant or just passing through, I hope you are inspired to explore the amazing city around you. After all, there’s no better way to experience a city than through the lens of food. 

Until Next Time!

For those of you who don’t want to refer back to this blog post, feel free to download the list below. Bon Appétit!

Catherine Courtney

Welcome to Blonde Voyage Nashville!

I am so excited to finally see this dream become a reality.  Between the destination restaurants, the copious amount of food photos and insanely crazy travel stories, I have decided to share my journey. 

My name is Catherine Courtney and I am a Nashville native with a penchant for culinary creativity and epic travel adventures. I'll admit... I also have a slight obsession with handbags.

Two years ago, my life changed completely.  Everything that I knew to be was completely turned upside down.  I quickly realized that time is our greatest commodity and it's not to be taken for granted. I couldn't wait for the perfect time, who knew when that would be.  I needed to take the leap and explore the world on my own.  There were so many places I wanted to go, but where would I start. 

France was always one of those places that I had romanticized.  Wandering the streets of Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower were at the top of my list. Without hesitation, I booked a two week trip to the French Rivera and Paris.  It was a journey of a lifetime.  Not only were amazing friendships cultivated, but it was on that trip that i discovered that food and travel are the embers that that keep my soul on fire. 

It wasn't until I arrived back in Nashville with my passport that I realized I had been bit. Wanderlust had completely taken over.  I already started thinking about where I wanted to go next.  It was then that I decided that it was more important to have camera full of photos and a tattered journal full of stories than anything else. My heart was overflowing.

One of my favorite quotes that resonates is from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland:

"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures...."

Join me as I explore near and far away places, filling my passport full of stamps and satiating my appetite with some of the most amazing cuisine the world has to offer. 

Thanks for reading!
