View all City Cast Nashville episodes

We’re talking about some of Nashville’s oldest and most beloved restaurants with acclaimed local food and travel writer Margaret Littman. She joins host Grace Fuisz to explain how the owners of institutions like Brown’s Diner and International Market are keeping their historic legacies strong, while also making vital upgrades to survive and thrive today. Can these oldies-but-goodies evolve their menus and ambiance without losing the reasons why we loved them in the first place? Plus: her current go-to choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
