Casual Chain Crawl Adventures…

For 2026 we introduced a new category of our popular Dining Around Town Series called... Casual Chain Crawl with Cristina!

Since this group began, we have consciously tried to avoid big chain restaurants in favor of supporting small and local businesses. However with such a multicultural group, it is not surprising that multiple members have expressed interest in checking out some of the most popular American chain restaurants as a cultural dining experience of sorts.

One of our most passionate members, "Italian Cristina", has volunteered to host this series and has researched and hand selected the locations which are all over the greater Nashville area.
