Ep 8. Nashville

In episode 8 of Late Nite Eats season 1, the show heads to the Music City, Nashville, to explore its famous food scene. Host Jordan Andino is eager to check out some of the city's lesser-known food spots to find the best late-night eats.

The first stop of the night is at Mas Tacos Por Favor, a no-frills taco joint with a cult following. Jordan steps into the bustling kitchen to help prepare their signature fried avocado taco and a chorizo taco. The warm and welcoming atmosphere of Mas Tacos is infectious, making it a must-visit spot for anyone in town.

Next up on the list is Fido, a popular coffeehouse that serves up more than just their top-quality brews. Jordan samples their colossal breakfast burrito and the locally sourced chicken and waffles dish, both of which are a hit. The eclectic decor and dog-friendly patio make Fido a hub for both locals and tourists.

The third stop of the night takes Jordan to Biscuit Love, known for their fluffy handmade biscuits made fresh every single day. They serve up a variety of biscuit sandwiches, but Jordan is particularly excited to try the East Nasty - a fried chicken sandwich with sausage gravy and cheddar cheese. The dish lives up to the hype, cementing Biscuit Love's status as a Nashville staple.

For the final stop of the night, Jordan heads to Bastion, a cocktail bar and restaurant with a laid-back, retro vibe. Here, he dives into the Cheddarwurst, a double-smoked bratwurst topped with beer cheese and onions. The dish is perfectly balanced and hits all the right notes - savory, cheesy, and comforting.

Throughout the episode, Jordan chats with locals to get a sense of how the Nashville food scene has evolved over the years, with many chefs and restaurateurs taking advantage of the bounty of local ingredients and putting their own spin on classic Southern dishes.

The episode ends with Jordan reflecting on how Nashville's food scene truly lives up to its reputation as a culinary destination, with something delicious to discover around every corner, at any time of day or night.
