Kayne Prime

I know this restaurant is a little off MY beaten path but we had such a good time and the wine list was so great, I had to write about it.  If you’re ever in Nashville and you’re feeling like a carnivore, Kayne Prime is a solid place to go.  

Apparently it’s one of the better if not best restaurants in Nashville. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but our dinner was put together very last minute and included three 6-year olds, three middle-aged Moms and  four grandparents.  We had a WIDE range to satisfy. 

First off, the wine list was extensive.  Instead of on paper, they bring out an iPad for you to scroll through.  I found something astonishing.  They had one of my favorite wines by one of my favorite winemakers in their cellar - the Phifer Pavitt “Date Night“ by winemaker Ted Osborne.  Under 300 cases of Date Night are produced each year so I was in complete shock when I saw it on a wine list in Nashville of all places. I proceeded to order two bottles and to be honest, the rest of the night is a bit of a blur - in a good way.

We first ordered the Tuna and Housemade Bacon - both great. I had the Wagyu Filet - cooked perfectly.  We then consumed so many sides and finally dessert that we were stuffed to the gills.  Luckily, the hotel had a shuttle that promptly came over to pick us up and deliver us back to our cozy rooms. I think we all slept soundly that night.

Find. Eat. Drink.

I receive a number of food, wine and design newsletters and a new one I was introduced to is Find. Eat. Drink.  I dig it.  The look is clean, the information straight-forward and the editorial is interesting which can be tricky these days, funny enough.  I liked this piece today - a snapshot of Caroline Styne’s, AOC-Tavern-Larder, take on food and wine in Los Angeles.  She knows what she’s talking about and is not steering any of us wrong.  

Disclaimer: AOC has been one of my favorite restaurants since it opened almost 10 years ago and we make chef Suzanne Goin’s sweet potatoes almost every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.  Yes, that’s how good they are.
