Modern Iberian Dinner Series
Peninsula in Nashville
Expectations were through the roof for our FIRST-EVER Nashville event series, given that we were hosting it at Eater Nashville's 2018 Restaurant of the Year. And, just a few days before our event, Executive Chef Jake Howell won Nashville Scene's Iron Fork trophy, which we found out is a pretty big deal. 70+ eager members (and their guests) filled up the tiny restaurant for back-to-back seatings to find out if Peninsula lives up to the hype, and Chef Howell and the tight-knit team at Peninsula did not disappoint! Attendee feedback was across the board incredible, and it's safe to say that Peninsula most certainly showed us why they've been able to separate themselves from the pack of Nashville's booming restaurant scene. Below are the top 3 courses as rated by attendees on their feedback cards:
1st Place: Squid Ink Chicken Thighs - with parsley sauce, spicy sauce, burnt bread sauce, charred lemon, and seasonal pickles
2nd Place: Shrimp Escabeche - with radicchio salsa and horseradish
3rd Place: Marinated Navy Beans - with caramelized squid and yeast stock
