50 Best has announced its list of North America’s 50 Best Restaurants. The 50 Best brand highlights great restaurants and bars from all corners of the Earth.
The list includes one Nashville spot – Locustin, located on 12th Avenue South in Nashville.
The locally owned restaurant is only open three days a week and getting a reservation is like scoring a coveted toy at Christmas.
Of the restaurant, theworlds50best shared, “The Locust team is terrific at making flavour combinations you haven’t considered before and at delivering an aesthetically perfect table (you will want to take a picture of that toast, go ahead). So, there isn’t a lot of room for dietary restrictions, and the options for vegetarians are limited.”
Chef Trevor Moran debuted in Nashville as the chef at Catbird Seat, an exclusive chef-driven menu experience. In 2020, Locust opened on 12th South and has since been featured in Food and Wine in 2022 for Restaurant of the Year, along with being featured in the New York Times in 2022. Moran was also nominated as a semifinalist for Best Chef in the Southeast by the James Beard Foundation.
