10 East Tennessee Small-Town Sandwich Shops Worth Going Out Of Your Way For

A Tennessee bakery serves a roast beef sandwich named after a waterfall. The building that holds it dates back to 1908 and made it through a fire in 1914. That detail alone had me hooked. Then I learned about a farm cafe where the cheese on your melt is made right on the property.

Where to order Thanksgiving pies in Nashville, from chess to chocolate

Some think Thanksgiving dinner would be incomplete without turkey. Others are really just eating toward the pie. Nashville has plenty of options for both traditionalists and more adventurous eaters. Local restaurants and bakeries have everything from classic pumpkin and pecan pies to miso chess and spiced ube pie. At City House in Germantown, pastry chef Rebekah Turshen has created a sweet potato chess meringue pie that draws on the baking traditions of her grandmothers in Tennessee and Brooklyn. That fits City House's ethos, where chef Tandy Wilson and team turn out a menu rooted in Southern tradition and local ingredients. "I feel like Tandy and I both cook sort of like reimagined grandma food," Turshen said. "I'm doing a lot of things I remember from both of my grandmothers and kind of making them my own a little bit too." Turshen might be best known for her signature Tennessee Waltz Ice Box Cake, with buttermilk pecan cake infused throughout with espresso. But the pastry chef, who said she is both on team pie and team cake, plans to center her holiday menu around her sweet potato chess meringue pie, which was previously featured in Oxford American magazine.

Emeraude Bakery outgrows its Mt. Juliet home. Where it's moving

A popular Mt. Juliet bakery that specializes in artisan sourdough bread and pastries will relocate to a bigger space in the city, chef, founder and owner Hunter Briley said. The Emeraude Bakery will leave its eatery at 9904 Lebanon Road near Golden Bear Gateway and go west into the heart of Mt. Juliet at 11330 Lebanon Road, said Briley. The new location will give The Emeraude Bakery just over 3,000 square feet of space in a multi-tenant building with Nutrition Nova and Resha's School of Dance. Nicoletto's Pasta Company also plans to open a new location there, near the intersection of North Mt. Juliet Road across from Starbucks. "We've officially outgrown the building," Briley said about the current 1,200-square-foot space that can have lines of customers waiting to get in, especially on a Saturday, along with limited parking and a difficult intersection to get in and out of." "We have maxed out on storage and output and the amount of people we can even fit in here. We've been presented with an opportunity and we've taken it." Briley opened The Emeraude Bakery storefront in late 2024, specializing in traditional sourdough bread that uses all natural ingredients with 48-hour fermentation to
