Locust and Kisser lead — a One Star in 12 South and a Bib in East Nashville, both stacked with Beard recognition. Behind them, four Delicious spots cover sushi and omakah from The Gulch to Germantown, including another Beard Semifinalist at Noko. Three Damn Good spots round it out, sushi rooms and modern Japanese kitchens that don't need the badges to earn the trip.
