Nashville’s lost restaurants
Speaking of Nashville’s unique character, there’s an interesting conversation taking place right now on food media site Chowhound about restaurants that haven’t survived in Nashville. Recent departures such as The Sutler, Belle Meade Buffet and Vandyland are mentioned alongside older disappearances Shakey’s Pizza, B&W Cafeteria, Ireland’s and Seven Hills Drug. Restaurants that have relocated but stayed in business, including Jimmy Kelly’s and Gerst Haus, are on the list, too, and I’m sure happy they are only included as honorable mentions. Those are two places I would hate to lose.

Gerst Haus is owned by the same people who own Sportsman’s Grille(s). It’s not going anywhere. Which is good, because it is halfway between our parking spot and the entrance to LP Field on Titan’s gamedays.

I didn”t realize the Sportsman”s owners owned Gerst, too. That”s great that it”ll be around for a long time. It sounds like you”ve got a great pit stop on your game day commute, too.
