I am real estate obsessed. It started as a kid when my parents took us to open houses on Sundays. I loved touring houses. I love everything about it—architecture and design. I appreciate how people live, how your home tells your story, and how it reflects your personality. This month we get to step into some extraordinary homes that are the priciest on the market. And with those price tags comes incredible design and amenities, including lush grounds, bowling alleys, and penthouse views. As more people are moving to Nashville, the demand has never been hotter for houses. People from NYC and California are making their way here and the influx of buyers with high standards is driving prices up to an all-time high. While this may seem taxing to…

Browned Mushrooms Spring grilling season is upon us and E3 Chophouse’s Executive Chef, Moises Salvador, has some simple tips for making the perfect steak. He advises marinating overnight when time allows, brushing the meat with olive oil and salt and pepper (or your own special blend before placing on the grill), patiently waiting for your grill to reach the proper temperature before applying the meat, and to “rotate twice, flip once” to get those restaurant-worthy, diamond-shaped grill marks. And when it comes to toppings? Mushrooms. “Their roasted umami flavor takes a good steak over the top,” he says. Don’t fret if you can’t find the exact match of mushrooms in the recipe. “The primary flavor from the mushrooms in this dish comes from roasting,” he explains, “so button mushrooms or…
