We spend lots of pixels selling different firms’ occasions right here, so I’m going to shine a lightweight on some issues that the employees of the Scene‘s occasions division has been onerous at work on. Belief me once I say you wish to learn about these upcoming occasions!
First off is the return of Nashville Scene Taco Week, operating from Monday, Dec. 8, by Sunday, Dec. 14. The enjoyable begins on Monday night time, when from 5:30 till 8 p.m. Otto’s Bar hosts the large opening social gathering at 4210 Charlotte Ave. There can be drink specials, tequila samples courtesy of G4 and Palomo Mezcal, a photograph sales space and, after all, tacos!

Practically 40 eating places and bars have signed as much as take part in Taco Week and compete for the title of Prime Taqueria.

We’re not speculated to play favorites right here on the editorial aspect, however there are positively a couple of submissions which have caught my eye. Firstly is the collaboration that includes Shane Nasby at his two areas of Cledis Burgers, the place he has invited Pablo Bonacic of the gone-but-not-forgotten Subculture Cafe to convey again his legendary Sizzling Rooster Taco for the week. Judging by the thrill amongst Fb sizzling rooster teams, that one can be an early betting favourite.
However I wouldn’t sleep on the Japanese/Peruvian fusion Nikkei taco from Limo. First off, it will be gross to sleep on a taco, and secondly, the wonton-meets-ceviche taco seems to be fairly outrageous. I additionally like that these particular Taco/Burger/Pizza/Sizzling Rooster weeks that the Scene places on usually assist me uncover locations I’d by no means heard of beforehand. This week, I’ll be looking for out the Nashville location of Don Miguel Juicery + Rustic Kitchen at 300 James Robertson Parkway. They’ll be utilizing a Santa Maria-style grill to create Tri Tip Steak Tacos topped with pico de gallo, creamy avocado and a chipotle sauce that’s bought me fairly fired as much as attempt.
After you’ve gotten your fill of tacos and vote for a winner, it will likely be time to look forward to the following version of the Music Metropolis Meals & Wine Competition, returning to Centennial Park April 24 by 26.
