Nashville Restaurants

[GinaO]

Hi everyone....I tried this question in the travel forum...no response. So...here goes!

Any restaurants, besides the chains (outback, etc) available in the Nashville area? I am staying near the airport. Any help would be appreciated. And, if there is a health food store in and around, that would save some packing and space in my bag if I could just buy some items there. Thanks. again...Gina

of course there are the obvious chains, and I also have contacted J.Alexanders and they will accomidate you as well. Most everything there is made from scratch. There is a few different wild oats locations I guess the one in Green Hills would be closer to your hotel than in cool springs. There is another Health food store called the Turnip truck it is located closer to down town you might can look it up on nashvillecitysearch.com. there is another restuarant I ate at last weekend called Cabanna it was pretty pricey about 20$ a plate but the food was great they had a special menu for me and it did not get sick! It is located near hillsboro village. I am not good with directions so my advice would be to look it up on the city search page I hope this helps some

If you can... take the General Jackson dinner cruise. Last time I was there I was trying the gluten-free diet, and we called the Chef ahead of the cruise and he actually knew what "gluten free" meant. He even came out 1/2 through the meal to make sure all was well with it. I hope the same chef is still there, was a lot of fun.
