Lifelong residents of Tennessee and first time tourists alike need to know where the best eats are throughout the state. For the locals, they need to make sure where they call home is stacking up to the rest of the cities when it comes to amazing, delicious, and unforgettable meals. It doesn’t matter if cities are known for the same thing or not, what matters is that your city’s quality is matching what everyone else does with their dishes.
For the tourists, learning this also important information is going to determine what your route through the state looks like. If somewhere isn’t known for their own special dish, no matter how long your trip is, you aren’t going to have time for that place. With the curiosity of both residents and visitors in mind, here’s the places that stack up against all others, the foodies among us.
Nashville
You could have never eaten a spicy thing in your life and you still understand the weight of the phrase “Nashville hot.” That has nothing to do with how spicy something is, there’s much more to it than that. It’s the way the flavors are introduced to you. Don’t for a second think this is just another buffalo chicken sandwich you are getting here.
If that’s all you think that’s going on in Nashville, might as well start looking at Nashville Houses for Sale. You clearly need a proper education in terms of how the city does chicken and might as well be close to all the places to try. There’s a million reasons why someone might have ended up in Nashville in the first place, but this chicken is the reason they stayed.
Memphis
When talking about matching quality earlier, the perfect example is Memphis and Nashville. Chicken is serious business in Nashville and barbeque is seen the same way within Memphis. No matter where you are in the country, you’ll be able to find a barbeque place that’s at least offering a few dishes Memphis-style but nothing is going to compare to getting it right in the actual city itself.
What makes this style so special begins right at the start of cooking. Typically, charcoal briquettes are used instead of logs which is going to give the meats their special flavor. The sauce itself is going to have plenty to do with it as well. Odd are you’ve had it, even if you didn’t realize it. You’ll find it with whatever level of heat you’d like but it’ll always have that red-brown color and the perfect amount of tanginess to match.
Chattanooga
There’s got to be room for dessert somewhere on this tour, right? As long as you have room for it, everyone has to stop and get a taste of the city where the MoonPie was invented. If you are well acquainted with Tennessee, you already know this as the favorite dessert of the state.
For those just learning about all this for the first time, think of a s’more but all the easier to hold. This graham cracker and marshmallow masterpiece has the chocolate on the outside and it’s all completely hardened by the time it gets to you.
