We are sure that you have noticed, Nashville is changing. From the influx of bachelorettes and Airbnbs, to the great restaurant expansion in the last decade, many folks are both excited and bewildered with the transformation of our wonderful city. We want the The Meal that Heals to showcase how Nashville chefs are embracing that change by creating a partnership with each course. Two chefs, one a stalwart in the Nashville scene, the other a relative newcomer to the town or to the business, work together in a nod to Old School/ New School Nashville in support of a great cause.
