Secret Food Tours: East Nashville - Hot Chicken, BBQ & Southern Hospitality

On our Secret Food Tours East Nashville, you’ll step into one of the city’s most creative and flavor-packed neighborhoods, where music, history, and Southern hospitality come together. From fiery hot chicken to smoky BBQ and award-winning bites, this tour is the perfect way to experience the real Nashville beyond Broadway.

Your journey begins with a sweet start - a treat as smooth as Tennessee whiskey - before diving into a critically acclaimed CrustBurger at one of the neighborhood’s most beloved spots. Next, we’ll head to Nashville’s first Food Hall, where you’ll savor a Memphis-style BBQ sandwich crafted by an internationally renowned chef.

As we explore East Edgefield and the vibrant Five Points, your guide will share stories of Nashville’s past and present, highlighting its soulful ties to music, food, and culture. You’ll stop at a diner-style restaurant from a James Beard Award-winning chef (and featured on Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil) to taste a Southern classic elevated to perfection.

Of course, no Nashville experience would be complete without hot chicken, the city’s most famous dish. We’ll wrap things up with our Secret Dish, a Southern recipe that embodies the heart of local hospitality.

Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy water with your tastings, or upgrade to our Drinks Package, which includes local craft beer, pineapple cider, and a classic Bushwacker cocktail.
