I work in Nashville and have dined at Audrey everal times and the food and hospitality never dissapoints. I just dined at June and it takes the experience to another level altogether. Astaoundoing is all I can say. Get there if you can !
I live in Nashville and have eaten at every current Sean Brock restaurant and if I’m being honest, the food is somewhat hit or miss. That said, it’s definitely more hit than miss and I probably have some bias because we have constant access to great Appalachian food here and especially in East TN at BlackBerry Farm. But, the aesthetics and service at Audrey and June are always next level. Sean not only has a talent for food but his space conceptualization is phenomenal. Proud to have him call our fine city home.
@@Jamesnu His crust burger at Joyland is awesome. Suggest it highly. Also, the next time you're in Nashville, you have to go to Locust. It's the best restaurant in the entire southeast. Run by a former Noma chef and it's INSANELY good.
I agree ….. I wasn’t blown away by the whole meal …. That country ham is off the charts though and our drinks were outstanding…. That said the kitchen crew was gross and the kitchen was visibly dirty
I know Sean Brock. I lived in Charleston for 20 years. He was the chef at McCrady’s best steak house I was ever at, then went on to open Husk on Queen Street next to 82 Queen, a sort of commander's place type place, a grand dame. Back to Sean: I spent some time with him on his pig farm on Johns Island. He was from Mars.
Hi James! Man oh man I felt like a shark with its eyes rolling back every time you took a bite.So happy you had this experience. Thanks for sharing this with the world 💫
Having a bit of a crap day today, however watching your new video has (as always) given me a a bit of light and the end of the day. Keep up the great work James 👍
Hi James, you are definitely in the top 1% of people with the best, healthiest metabolism in the world ! Another wonderful review, my friend. That's one restaurant I would've loved to experience if my travelling days weren't over. Thank you for the great photography. It truly captures the atmosphere and remarkable food of this celebrated restaurant. All the best !
towards the end of each and every single one of your videos I start to get goosebumps, that's how much i'm obsessed with you. take me out next time you have dinner
I have been waiting for this one to drop. As much as I love Husk, you made the right choice. I have been to Audrey twice and June once. I feel like the standout dishes were the cornbread and grits. They are so simple, but you cannot understand how good they can be until you have had them there. I would highly recommend you come back to Nashville and experience June. It is the "higher end" tasting menu experience.
I know what you mean about the cornbread and grits. They don't sound like the most exciting dishes, but to me, they were so perfect! Yeah, I would really enjoy trying June in the future.
Your meal here looked fabulous, by that look on your face with the lamb belly said it all, Iam very intrigued by blue corn meal cornbread, WoW! It all looks amazing. The Apple Cobbler looked wonderful. So glad you enjoyed a delicious, very colorful and unique feast. 😋👏
That cobbler looked so good. I have to agree with you on the fine dining tasting menu. They always leave my wallet lighter and my belly screaming for more. Charlie Trotter's the king of Chicago fine dining places at one time left me so hungry it was sad. It's good to hear they lowered the price to $75. This is one smart owner. The building itself looked awesome too. I love the open kitchen look. Congrats on 40K and as always, Cheers James.
Thank you so much! Yeah, that's one of the worst parts of a lot of these fine dining tasting menus. I'm always wanting more. It was refreshing going to a restaurant like this. It left me very satisfied. Cheers!
@@randyschwaggins Randy, I've been out of the Chicago (in town) dining scene for over a decade. I think Trotter's closed more than a decade ago now. I know a few friends who still go out to all the fancy scmancy places on the regular. From what they tell me Chicago is currently overloaded with more world class restaurants than at any time in the past. Once I retired, I stopped going into the city. Honestly, as beautiful as The Chi is, i don't miss it. I'm a country bot surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of corn and beans. I spent my entire career on The Chicago Board of Trade and The CBOE, so I was in the city every day for decades. I love it, but I'm done with it. A Girl and a Goat gets talked up big by my buds.
I follow your eats with envy! I urge you to try June. Audrey, as great as it is, is just a prelude to June which is as much a journey and exploration as it is meal.
Audrey definitely looks like a restaurant I would love to try. Another solid review Andrew, Thank you! 👍❤️ Bet the waiter was surprised how much room you have on reserve,lol.
Sean deserves all the praise & acclaim he’s received over the years. And considering his failing health as well as his addictions at the time (& Charleston’s role in it all), I totally get why he had to leave. I really hope he’s happy, healthy & having fun now. But he, & virtually every other restaurant & hospitality group can keep NashVegas. I’ll always prefer Charleston & the Lowcountry.
Wow, thanks for this review! I love fine dining but am often slightly annoyed the the pretencious atmosphere and small portions. Audrey looks so satisfying.
love the review. what do you do for work that allows you to travel and eat so well? keep up the content please. love it. if you make it to Austin again try Olamaie
Looks delicious, in the south we pronounce Cherokee ,Chair-O-key, not trying to call you out but I'm a tribal member and want to educate you. Love your reviews.
OMG! Sean has really upped his game with this menu! I have been following him ever since his appearence on Anthony Bourdain's Waffle House episode. Great vlog James!
I don’t have that much experience with Nashville but from my limited experiences I really liked it to the point that I think it might actually be the best food city in the South in the category of western style foods
Ah. I thought it was chicken and dumpling and a choice of either the pork or the catfish. In any case, that meal looked incredible and so worth what you paid for it!
That looks more like a crumble than a cobbler to me, but it appears that is another difference between UK and US usage - a cobbler over here has scone-like topping, often in individual circles that partly join together during cooking. Looked nice whatever it was called though! There are a couple of appealing mushroom dishes on the a la carte menu (to spare us vegetarians any more tears), one with morels, the other with lion's mane - the morels are fried, but the lion's mane isn't, maybe that would have been a good alternative main course. Lion's mane is tasty, very interestingly textured and catching on a bit.
@@Jamesnu yeah, I love morels too - I've had them paired with asparagus and an umami sauce (often with parmesan) at a number of starred places. Fantastic dish.
Always saving the best for later.👍👍 What an amazing meal. A feast with a lot of food is never a problem for you James. Isn’t Memphis where you ran the Marathon?
Now this looks like a Kickass restaurant!! River rafting the Colorado river next week.....should be fun food also! Timmy C Arizona p.s. Don't Get Married! 😅
hey aren't you supposed to get the chicken and dumplings too? it was catfish or steak, then okra or potatoes. That cobbler looked great too. what a meal!
Audrey was also the name of Hank Williams’ ex-wife (and mother of Hank Williams, Jr.) whose cheating ways gave birth to his huge hit: ‘Your Cheating Heart’. So, in Nashville, it gives it an extra cachet.
The first 'wave' looked delicious but the portions went from enormous to ridiculous. Especially that lamb. Overall it sounds like you were satisfied with the meal. The dessert looked nice but no way was it enough for 2.
I just went to a comedy dinner club and shared a giant brownie with my 21 year old son. We both ate most of the brownie and it came with a tiny bowl of vanilla bean ice cream. The server was ansent mkst of the time we were there so we couldn't get more from her, so I asked another server and played it off like wwe never got our ice cream. BUT WHEN i told him our table number, poof ther server finally appeared. She was like 'I brought you the ice cream....whatchoo mean you dinnit gets it?' So I told her we got it, but the lady in front of us flipped he weave into it. Since we were all,packed like sardines, that made sense so she wemt and got another thung of ice cream for me to take back to the table. Then when the manager came aroumd, I commented on the pathetic amount of ice cream and then that I had to go get more. They wrote it all off, our bill was 10 bucks for 2 drinks.
I like Sean and I like his restaurants…. we had the feast a few months ago and it was very filling for sure with some real highlights ….. but we had a 9pm table and I’m not sure what was going on with the show kitchen in front of us but the cooks were gross and eating out of service containers and were dirty af ….. the service was so so and the beef at the end wasn’t cooked to order and the kitchen showed no interest in correcting it ….. I’ll go back again for sure when the menu changes but it is far , far from the best restaurant in Nashville
@@Jamesnu we had the last booking for the night on a same day reservation so I’m not complaining too much honestly about the state of the kitchen …. Eating out of the containers I could’ve done without …. The bar upstairs made my wife her favorite drink she’s probably ever had out of the dozens of restaurants we’ve traveled to …. We live just north of Nashville so we get downthere alot and get to try all these places as they open which is awesome for people from rural Tennessee …. But it definitely wasnt the best restaurant in Nashville …. However I do love the concept and the ingredients and the food 7/10 that night with a couple of superstar elements for sure …. Definitely worth checking out at least
@@LordGreystoke was in the menu section towards the bottom 🤷🏼….. it’s basically an offering of all the things they feature with some choices that can be altered to suit the table …. Great concept for sure and again, worth checking out …. Just not the best restaurant in Nashville imo
