Bastion and The Catbird Seat top the list, both Michelin One Stars, both James Beard Finalists. Behind them, Lion's Share and Rolf and Daughters hold Delicious, with a Beard Finalist and a Michelin Selected between them. The rest is a six-deep Damn Good bench running from East Nashville to Brentwood, including a Beard Finalist at Husk and a Semifinalist at Lockeland Table. This is Nashville American cooking with the receipts to back it.
