Twelve months ago, Nashville’s media and culinary communities welcomed the first issue of Edible Nashville, a magazine that strives to connect Music City with local farmers, chefs, restaurants and food artisans through rich content. Editor Jill Melton made the decision to launch the magazine at a time when Nashville was solidifying itself as a culinary destination. With an impressive amount of experience in the kitchen, public health and publishing, she is now mastering the task of keeping the city up-to-date on all-things-food. In addition to producing outstanding articles in every issue of Edible, Jill can be found entertaining and cooking, stretching her legs around town or spending time with her son. Welcome Jill Melton, today’s FACE of Nashville.
