On 2/28 & 3/1, we celebrated our 11th installment of the Charlie Trotter’s Guest Chef Series “Nashville in the North”! We featured four of the greatest Chefs who’ve changed the landscape of cuisine in Nashville. 1. Sam Jett @samuel.jett of Audrey @audreynashville 2. Erik Anderson @airick72 3. Josh Habiger @softarchitect of Bastion @bastionnashville 4. Trevor Moran @trevoromorain of Locust @locustnashville These Chefs created an eight course menu for 90 guests followed by a four course menu for 142 guests. The cuisine was outstanding. The chefs stopped by the tables and the guests came to the kitchen. Young culinarians traveled far to meet the chefs and learn from them. We even had a proposal at the original Kitchen Table! The team never missed a beat. A big shout out to Sam Jett @samuel.jett for headlining again! He and @drucif3r previously did the Koji Dinner back on September 28th! This time they did two courses inspired from @chefcharlietrotter ‘s cookbooks, including a cabbage/potato/truffle terrine! Josh Habiger drove from Nashville solo. He quickly mentored some of our regular young chefs and put @jt_d_cook in charge of his beef & scallop tartare with bergamot & brown butter for the entire service! Ariel Welch @arielmwelch (the Pastry Chef of @locustnashville ) drove up on her own with pounds and pounds of giant ice blocks for her “Tea Ice” dessert! The big show-stopper of the weekend! Erik Anderson @airick72 and Craig Wilmer @ragz.cw flew in to cook from Calistoga. As you can see by the photos, their duck course was absolutely brilliant with a duck liver pate & orange confiture. The wines, as always, were curated by the brilliant Master Serafin Alvarado @finoalvarado and the NA cocktail pairing by the Renaissance Man Ryan Castelaz @ryan.castelaz The intimate photography by Nick Robins @chilledelegance who has an eye for special moments. Truly a magical weekend with an outstanding group.

Announcing the 11th installment of The @charlie_trotters Guest Chef series: Nashville in the North! Join us on Saturday, February 28th as these 4 Michelin award winning chefs throw down an 8 course menu at Charlie Trotter’s in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago! BOOK TICKETS in @dyltrot BIO Featuring: Chef Josh Habiger (The Catbird Seat, Bastion) Chef Erik Anderson (The Catbird Seat, Coi) Chef Trevor Moran (The Catbird Seat, Locust) Chef Sam Jett (Audrey) Chef Josh Habiger @softarchitect co-founded and served as the opening co-chef of The Catbird Seat @the_catbirdseat alongside Chef Erik Anderson @airick72 . Since opening in 2011, The Catbird Seat has played an integral role in establishing Nashville as a culinary destination. Following his time at The Catbird Seat, Chef Josh Habiger went on to open Bastion @bastionnashville , which earned a Michelin star in 2025. Chef Erik Anderson went on to lead the kitchen at two Michelin Coi in San Francisco. Chef Trevor Moran @trevoromorain took over the kitchen at Catbird Seat from 2014-2016 before opening Locust @locustnashville in 2020. Locust earned a Michelin star as well as a spot on North America’s 50 Best in 2025. Chef Sam Jett @samuel.jett worked alongside Sean Brock for 13 years. In 2024 he took over as the Executive Chef of Audrey @audreynashville serving Appalachian food harvested in the mountains and right outside Nashville. Chef Sam Jett is also brilliant when it comes to advanced fermentation and curing programs. He was previously a headliner at the Trotter’s Koji Dinner. Nashville has an excellent restaurant scene for so many reasons, starting with its deep Southern roots. They have a culture that values hospitality over hype; the people of Nashville are genuine. This also has attracted new-school culinary talent to add up to one of the most explosive food cities in the US.
