The Perfect Weekend in Nashville, Tennessee: Itinerary & (Massive) Guide

Last Updated:   February 13, 2021

As a general rule, Jeremy and I are crochety old people at heart, but Nashville brought out our inner 22 year olds again. We couldn’t help it: Nashville is the kind of city that makes you want to dance even if you don’t know the steps, sing even if you don’t know the words, and drink even though it’s 2pm and you’re still riding a hot chicken high. Nashville is a city brimming with energy: from music spilling out of every doorway on Broadway, to down-home Southern food and mind-blowing drinks, to the history and art on display all over town, Music City lives up to its name and so much more. We’ve created a GIANT Nashville weekend itinerary full of foodie finds, culture, art, and (duh) music!

Mexican food conjures up images of burritos and tacos and quesadillas, guacamole and salsa, and if you're into Tex-Mex, queso. But as it turns out, almost everything I thought I knew about Mexican food is wrong. Tacos, tamales and tortas may rule the international perception of Mexican cuisine, but there are so many more weird, wonderful, and authentic Mexican dishes that most people haven’t heard of, like poisoned tacos or sweetcorn cake. From tripe soup to fermented agave sap to ant larvae, here's 15 obscure Mexico foods that you've probably never heard of!
