Chef Margot Says Goodbye to the Restaurant That Launched Nashville’s Food Scene

Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Six months ago, chef Margot McCormack announced that Margot Café & Bar would close its doors on June 5, 2026 — the 25th anniversary of the French-inspired farm-to-table restaurant that launched Nashville’s now-booming food scene. She joins host Marie Cecile Anderson for an exit interview to share her thoughts on the community she’s built, why she couldn’t open a restaurant like Margot today, whether she ever got the national attention her trailblazing food deserved, and what she’s doing next.
