Innholdsfortegnelse for July 2023 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

You may have already seen Brad Paisley performing for the 4th of July celebration this year, depending on when you read this—if you’re a subscriber or you buy the magazine on the newsstands. Or maybe you read it in your doctor’s office. I remember as a kid going downtown to see the fireworks and every year it’s bigger and better. We have one of the most amazing fireworks displays in the country! Our cover star is pretty much an American hero, and our editor, Alison Hudak, got to talk to him about everything going on in his world. You can read all about it in this month’s feature. Talking about doctors’ offices, you’ll find our annual Top Doctors list right here! I hope you’ll keep this on your coffee table…

AT THE TABLE Opened in 1895 as a saloon, gambling hall, and hotel in downtown’s infamous “Men’s Quarter” (4th Avenue North—then, North Cherry Street) The Southern Turf was considered the most lavish of such establishments. Designed in the Queen Anne Revival style, the four-story structure boasted numerous architectural elements still in evidence today: fine stone and brickwork, grand turret, bay windows, and second-floor balcony. It shuttered in 1916, a casualty of Tennessee prohibition, becoming home to an array of businesses including the Nashville Tennessean newspaper, a billiard hall, a paint store, and law offices. Bill Miller, founder and CEO of ICON Entertainment, wanted to bring the historic building back to its former glory and purchased it in 2017. No stranger to bold, successful projects, he is the guiding force behind…

July is always such a fun month in Music City. It’s packed with tons to do and see—and our July issue is no different. This month I had the chance to talk to country music mega-star Brad Paisley. Despite his decades of success, Brad remains one of the most down-to-earth celebrities I’ve ever interviewed. Not only is he absolutely hysterical, he’s also (more importantly) an incredibly nice guy. Here in Nashville, he and his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley opened The Store, a year-round free grocery store allowing people to shop for their basic needs at no cost. It’s a way for the Paisleys to give back to a community that they love and their involvement in the project runs deep. On a global level, Brad has worked with the U.S.…

PASTARIA’S CITRUS SALAD With its pared-down ingredient list and simple prep, this classic Italian salad from Gerard Craft, chef and restaurateur at Pastaria, is perfect for summer entertaining. “The Citrus Salad is one of the easiest appetizers to make for a group of people,” Craft says. “Not only is this dish visually striking, if you use great ingredients then it will be the most talked about dish of the night.” While Craft prefers navel oranges for the recipe, other citrus fruits from blood oranges to grapefruit work fine, too. “The key here is to find the best tasting fruit that is sweet, tart, and full of flavor—not watered down or…

Sitting at a back table inside Streetcar Taps & Garden, their newly opened neighborhood gastropub on Charlotte Pike, partners Carter Hach and Henry Beveridge reflect on the history of the space. The circa 1897 building was in the heart of a commercial development originally called New Town, and in 1901 it housed Lovell’s, West Nashville’s first grocery store. For Carter, it also taps into his personal history, which in many ways parallels that of his grandmother, Phila Rawlings Hach. Phila, as she was simply known, was the Grand Dame of Country Cooking. Hers was a rich and remarkable career spanning seven decades: She was an international flight attendant who wrote the first catering manual for the airline industry; a television personality and star of Kitchen Kollege, the South’s first cooking…
