Located in Rutledge Hill – just a few blocks south of Historic Broadway, in the heart of Downtown Nashville – Husk, from The Neighborhood Dining Group, is reinterpreting the bounty of the surrounding area, exploring an ingredient-driven cuisine that begins in the rediscovery of heirloom products and redefines what it means to cook and eat in Nashville. At Husk, there are some rules about what can go on the plate. If it doesn’t come from the South, it’s not coming through the door. The resulting cuisine is not about rediscovering Southern cooking, but rather exploring the reality of Southern food. Seed-saving, heirloom husbandry, in-house pickling and charcuterie programs by Executive Chef Ben Norton and his culinary team are the basis of Husk’s cuisine. Husk Nashville, located at 37 Rutledge Street, was constructed into the side of a hill between 1879 and 1882 by Dr. John Bunyan Stephens. Its storied history includes serving as Mayor Richard Houston Dudley’s home, where he lived when elected in 1897. The area was settled by the Rutledge and Middleton families of Charleston who were descendants of two of the original South Carolina signers of the Declaration of Independence. Mayor Dudley added the Carriage House located on property in 1890–which will serve as a space to satisfy the restaurant’s culinary whims and host private/special events. The design of the Husk’s interior spaces enhances the building’s roots while demonstrating a sense of Southern style, modernity, energy, and cosmopolitan flair.

Old Hickory, Tennessee was a lot like other company towns of the 1920’s South. The village was built and owned by the areas sole employer, E.I. DuPont Nemours & Company. Old Hickory Country Club was founded in 1926 by the DuPont Company for their employees. The golf course was once the residence of the French Huguenots family, the Bondurants. The original Bondurant house was torn down in the 1940’s and replaced with a replica which is what we now know as Old Hickory Country Club. The quest for excellent golf lead R.F. "Bob" Rives, Ky Williams, Frank Ernst, Bob Megee, Laird Stabler and Tom Evans of the DuPont community, to visit "Boss" Robinson, who was living in the Bondurant house at the time. "Boss" Robinson granted permission for The DuPont Men to layout the golf course. The Men hired Belle Meade golf pro, George Livingstone, to design the course. Early greens were built of sand over sprayed with cottonseed oil to impart a solid putting surface. The original club opened with just 6 holes, but expanded to 18 holes in the summer of 1941. Even today, Livingstone's handiwork is discernible at different points throughout the course. Many great athletes have history planted in The Club including Golf Pro Harold Eller and Charles H. Alexander (Pro Alex). Harold Eller was the golf pro at Old Hickory Country Club from 1945-1979 and we host a Pro-Am tournament annually in his memory
