International week continues! Nashville is regarded as a hotspot of international cuisine. While some restaurants strive to recreate dishes that taste exactly like they do at home, a few first generation American chefs are seeking to honor their cultural heritage while creating something entirely new.

These local chefs, influenced by the culinary creations of their ancestors, blend the ingredients and techniques of their family’s homelands with those found in their home of Nashville. Their new creations offer diners a peek inside their culture and allow them to stretch their imaginations and creativity. Join us as we speak with local chefs who share their unique stories, traditions and recipes.
