Boucherie
5-Course Contemporary Southern Tasting Event
After 14 years of pleasing customers, even during a pandemic, this Uptown eatery is clearly a survivor… but then so is Chef/Owner Nathanial Zimet, who in 2011 was shot three times in an attempted robbery, an attack that left him hospitalized. Like many Americans, he lacked health insurance, but the local food community held several fundraisers on his behalf. After a miraculous recovery, he returned just months later to the line, returning the favor by feeding his city sophisticated Southern cuisine that somehow always has the flavor of home. StarChefs named Chef Zimet a Rising Star Chef in 2012, and, more recently, Eater named Boucherie to its 2022 list of "Best Riverbend Restaurants." At Boucherie, Chef Zimet is turning out innovative twists on traditional southern classics, with dishes like blackened shrimp & grits cake with bacon vinaigrette and pulled pork with mustard and sauerkraut cream. (Not to mention his non-regional reinventions like pistachio-crusted tuna, beet wellington, and applewood smoked scallops.) We're aching to visit, to hear from Chef Zimet, and to dig into some fine food!

In 2006, he began running a food truck (Que Crawl). Its success enabled him to grow the business into a brick-and-morter business, Boucherie, in 2008.
