Hey guys Phoebe here from Little Grey Box with Matt behind the camera and today we
are on tour with the guys at Intrepid Travel and Travel South because we are
exploring the southern USA states of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia and we are kicking things off here in the home of music Nashville, Tennessee
(music)
To help you travel well, we are going to be sharing all the details of our trip all
our travel tips and hints and everything we experience along the way now as we
all know southern USA is all about great food we are talking soul food deliciousness
things that make you feel good and we are kicking off our time
here in Nashville with food! the perfect way to start it
so we're gonna head into Butcher and Bee here and check it out
(music)
everything's really fresh, we've got lots of small plates everyone's tucking in and sharing
the food is so flavoursome, really big spices which Iove... yum
We actually flew to Nashville today all the way from Australia we're talking
a 12-hour flight to LA, transfer four hours here the Nashville from LA so we are
beat we are going to go hit the hay and now that we've had our first taste of Nashville
We'll be up bright and early tomorrow because we've got a whole day
full of fun activities and great food planned for you
(music)
The Loveless Cafe has been serving up fantastic traditional food for over 65 years
and the biscuits here are legendary! Now guys if you are watching this from Australia
a biscuit in the US is not a biscuit at home
it's not something you dunk in your cup of tea, it is more like a scone almost
and it is a savory treat, sometimes it has different things in it, they look amazing
and the lovely Jess is lucky enough to try it for us...
It tastes like a butterier (sic)... ok, butterier (sic) scone
Which I know is not a word... but it is
this jam is... can I swear in this video? It's really good
There's all kinds of things that I've heard about but never actually seen
on a real menu, so there's chicken and waffles
Matt has got this insane BBQ pulled pork from the smokehouse out back I'm thinking
eggs, he's got sides, there's biscuits everywhere people have got ham, I've got some
home-fried potatoes holy toast em for me we're gonna dig in and give us a
try because it looks incredible and I think what they say about southern
hospitality is spirit because I'll survive this is being so
hey guys so we're gonna be at the hall of fame and just been in here
you just check out the country music :
to go in and once you get in there they've got some permanent exhibits and
some rotating exhibits as well now I did ask the team how long they recommend
that you stay when you come to visit they said you could definitely do about
one to two hours but if you wanted to do the additional guide into is you can
stand and spend about five six hours here if you are really really into it
and I gotta say I have really good time in there it's so cool is to see all of
these historic pieces I mean you've got Elvis's gold plated Cadillac and the story
behind it lots of costumes from people like a Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline
it was just really, really good and really good fun so I definitely
recommend it and if you're a music buff you're gonna want to spend as much time
there as possible
(music)
Woolworth on 5th on that is one of the most historically significant restaurants
in Nashville, the lunch counters here were opened in around 1925 and at that time they
were operating under segregation laws This is a very important civil rights site
people from local universities protested here It was led predominantly by John Lewis
he was actually arrested here for the very first time. They look kinda randomly
placed but it's exactly where John Lewis was first arrested that's why they're there
We get to come here to enjoy a delicious meal and be in one of the most historically
in Nashville where the hard work, determination and incredible
fighting will of other people have made huge changes
(music)
everyone has gone to light options day for lunch I've got this beautiful lush
salad it
good tiny dressing nice and white the fresh crunchy and delicious
we are at Nelson's Greenbrier Phil from this place is a really
interesting history in 87 length of 12
took notice of the demand for his whiskey he acquired a distillery and
quickly became the largest producer of sour mattresses in Robeson County now he
was producing around 1.4 million litres of whiskey to put that into context at
the same time Jack Daniels is only producing 87
as we all know prohibition took place in 1909 but in 2011 two of his great great
great grandsons decided to bring the distillery back to life using chalice of
original recipes and now lucky travelers like you and I come here and do a guided
- annotation for $12 every top out let's go in and say what
it's all about that's who is fantastic you guys it was really well placed if
you drag on with your long out guide was amazing
hey this was a great bunch of history and facts and of course we get to see
everything and then at the end we did a tasting which was fantastic I'm not a
big whiskey drinker so it was a little bit stinging from me but it was still
really nice to try everything I'm really in a sample that original recipe of
Towson elsens like a drinking the history
behind me is the world-famous Ryman theater now yes if you ever get
the chance to catch a show here you absolutely should but one of the locals
told me the tickets sell out really fast I think a bigger part of that is
obviously the history and now important especially the country music
but it's also good to do with you every six years
if like me you've heard of Grand Ole Opry and Ryman and being unsure what the
difference is the best way I can describe it is the Grand Ole Opry is
like a radio show it's like a kind of an exhibition show for performers and
really the kind of vibe is if you really want to make it you have to perform at
the Grand Ole Opry stage obviously it's extremely competitive and it's really
hard to perform and share your music and your talent there but if you do get the
chance it's the launching pad from a near career so all those stars that you
know and love they have pulled Grand Ole Opry and many of them perform to you at
the right so the main up party Street of Nashville is definitely Broadway and we
just picked out a bar that has a nice rooftop years
the streets we because of escape the madness and it was perfect we had some
local crop yes they were really delicious this is such a potty place had
to actually telling us it's like a bachelor party of the world away coming
up like this second spatula party destination opt-ins because I think it
like it goes up I did natural is such a positive place there's some amazing
nightlife great live music if that is your vibe you're going to love it remain
I really enjoyed hitting above it all like on a rooftop ba and looking over it
was a lot more calm and I could enjoy it and feel like I was part of it without
being too for example the number of people
all right so our next stop is here at the wild of course to learn what a great
name firm waste now this spud is famous for its line
dancing so you can come here and they just free line dancing lessons and one
wake in the trying catch 7:15 p.m. I believe that free we can get a table
and then we don't miss out because I am down but some food and some beer all
right guys was it in the long house and have a fun night
so I wanted to share with you my top travel tips Nashville number one of
course is to get involved in the music scene as much as possible make sure
you're visiting us and cafes right music spots number to
try as much southern bird as you can it is Slavs are good I would just warn you
that the portions are very generous get a doggie bag or to tar back a stick
bird I would just recommend that if you're obviously in the warmer months
you want to make sure you are prepared for that heat pack accordingly nice
light clothing breathable cotton linen those are your friends avoid the hottest
part of the day lots of water and of course
next I'll make sure you are trying to base yourself in the central location
anyone need to downtown area I guess absolutely
