The Catbird Seat earned another prestigious culinary honor yesterday as it was named a finalist for the James Beard Award for best restaurant in the entire country.
Why it matters: It's the highest honor a restaurant can earn at the highly coveted James Beard Awards.
Although Nashville was otherwise shut out this year, just being named a finalist shows the Catbird Seat is one of the most highly regarded restaurants in the country.
Zoom out: The Catbird Seat was one of three Nashville restaurants to earn a Michelin star last year. It's the first time the dining guide has made recommendations for Nashville.
