Fresh off a trip to Nashville, I was pumped to try the southern cooking promised by Julep. The menu is organized by "snacks", small plates and large plates. We tried 2/5 in each category.
Snacks- pimento goat cheese was good. The cheese came with mildly cheesy crackers. A knife was needed BC the crackers crumbled with a dipping attempt. A-. The cornbread was buttery, fresh and delish. A.
Small plates- Nashville salad had fried pigs ears, lettuce and hot sauce. The weakest dish of the night. D. Blue crab rice cake. Rice, crab and scallions with a briney slaw. B.
Large plates. Fried chicken with collard greens. Mediocre, C. The greens were too sweet. The best dish of the night was the Perlou. Rice grits, whitefish, andouille sausage. I would come back for that alone. A+.
Overall a solid B with possibilities.
