Nashville is legitimately THE place to be for foodies right now, and some of us can barely contain ourselves. That’s why it is so upsetting to hear about people holding literally EVERY celebratory event at Chili’s when there are almost limitless better, lower-sodium options out there! When I lived here last summer, I had the opportunity to explore amazing new places that completely changed the way I perceived eating in Nashville. Here, I have compiled my favorite meals, the ones I come back to again and again.

Music City Flats (The Gulch): Seasonal Hummus

Satay (West End): Tom Yum Noodle Soup with Chicken

Vanderbilt

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
