In Issue #46 Jul/Aug 2022

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
Help us grow our new Instagram @ediblenashtn!

At no point in time has the word local meant more. 

Our Instagram was hacked and taken down by Facebook on April 24th. In the ensuing 6 weeks, I talked to no less than 12 people (from another continent) to get it back. I sent in photos of myself, photos of me holding a piece of paper showing my hand (yes), and codes that they sent me. I emailed every other day. I sent them business documents. Hell, I even sent them my tax return to prove that I was me and the owner of Edible Nashville and @ediblenash.

Sadly, we live in a global world where real connection with real people can be few and far between. And for whatever reason, there is no stateside support for a social media platform that millions live by everyday. (Shame on Meta and Facebook and Instagram and you, Mark Zuckerburg.)

We are still hopeful that we will get out of this "Bermuda Triangle" and get out account back, but in the meantime, we are posting on a new account @ediblenashtn with the same vigor and sense of adventure as before. 

But we miss everyone (you, our 40K followers) and want you back. So, please friends, help us get our community back. Follow us @ediblenashtn. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, everyone. Share it on your Facebook and Instagram; spread the news by smoke signals, morse code, carrier pigeon. Help us help our local business community. 

That aside, welcome to our Restaurant Issue where we highlight where we're eating. A lot of that happens on social media, so follow us to stay up to date on restaurant reviews and, of course, what to cook.

Turning lemons into lemonade, 
Jill
