can find at the more than half-dozen
country star-fronted restaurants that have
mushroomed on Lower Broadway.
“We each have a unique opportunity
to bring in our own fans to Nashville and

speaking about his own restaurant and

“We all benefit from each other and
add to the culture, the city’s vibe,” Bryan
