It’s finally spring! (Or at least fake spring, which honestly is good enough for me. Bring on a few weeks of sunshine even if it means one last random snow at the end of the month.) And since this is a season of new things and fresh energy it felt like the perfect time to launch a new issue. Inspiring Women—the name says it all! When we were talking about this feature we kept coming back to the same question: What is the angle? We share the stories of so many inspiring women in this magazine, from our monthly interviews with Nashville notables to our August Women in Business feature. How could we further that dedication to storytelling but in a different way? The phrase echoing in my head was…

When you think about country music in the ’90s, few bands fit the bill better than Sawyer Brown, but these mullet-sporting pioneers are far from acid-washed up. Scoring memorable number-one hits like “Some Girls,” their fusion of country tradition and wild-eyed rock energy shook crowds like no one else, helping ignite a fire that still burns in the genre today. But while the band eventually came to define the ’90s, Sawyer Brown actually emerged in 1983 as the first group to ever win Star Search. Their self-titled album debut came the very next year, and now, after parlaying that “15 minutes of fame into 40 years,” they’re celebrating their four-decade anniversary in style. Working with super-fan superstar Blake Shelton as producer, the band will release Desperado Troubadours on March 8,…

In Cool Springs’ dizzying sprawl of chain restaurants, Mi Kitchen is the not-so-hidden indie gem you wished you’d heard about sooner. Opened in April 2023 in a strip mall along Carothers Parkway, this modern Asian tapas restaurant and bar offers a sumptuous array of creative fusion dishes, each beautifully presented and served in a welcoming ambiance. The name is a perfect play on words: “Mi” means beauty in Korean, taste in Japanese, rice in Chinese, and the possessive my in Spanish. The kitchen of Brendan Yun and Nick Rho—Chef Yun and Chef Nick as they prefer to be known—embodies all of those facets. Both men are originally from South Korea; Yun completed his culinary studies in his homeland before coming to the United States in 2010; Rho arrived in 2007…

In late November 2023, Merriam-Webster selected its word of the year: Authentic. It’s a word that gets bandied about in terms of culture and identity, especially in a world where AI is increasingly present. What does it mean to be authentic? For Dinesh Kumar Jagga and Navjot Singh, partners in Curry+Tikka Indian Restaurant, the meaning is clear: authenticity is at the heart of their food, reflective of their heritage. Their menu is replete with the varied and heady dishes of their homeland: creamy dals, spicy chaats, aromatic rice, bold complex curries, butter-rich flatbreads, and succulent meats slow-cooked in the tandoor. Their story is not unlike that of many who come to the United States, fueled by the desire for greater opportunity. Both men, natives of India, came to Nashville independently…
