"Tennesee is not a girth-y state: it's long and skinny. So local [food] to us could be across the border in Kentucky which is less than an hour away, to Alabama, or Georgia. I know people are picky about what is 'local', but to us it's the Greater Nashville area, but it stretches straight into Kentucky, as well. "

"Our company is really about a culture... When I got to Nashville it was a little behind the rest of the world culinarily... Whether it's front of the house or back of the house to just really feel like they're a part of something great, a new movement in Nashville, because we're not the only ones doing it. There's some great cooking going on." --Robbie Wilson on U Look Hungry
