Vanderbilt dining sent a survey via email this morning giving the students the opportunity to have a say in which restaurants will be added to the Taste of Nashville program for the 2018-19 academic year. The survey gives students eight options, all of which have applied to participate in the Taste of Nashville program. Before voting on your top three choices, take a look at what each has to offer.
Biscuit Love (Belcourt)
This branch of Biscuit Love (one of multiple) is a quick walk from Commons in a convenient Hillsboro location and offers delicious biscuit sandwiches or other breakfast foods like oatmeal, grits and hash.
Blue Coast Burrito (Elliston)
This build-your-own burrito joint has locations around the South, including this new one on Elliston. It also has tacos, nachos, quesadillas and more.
Grabbagreen (Midtown 17th Ave)
A healthy choice with bowls, wraps, smoothies, juices and more, Grabbagreen is located near DeSano Pizza Bakery around the Music Row/Midtown area.
Hopdoddy (21st Ave S)
A relatively new addition to Hillsboro, Hopdoddy is a great spot for a burger, parmesan truffles fries and milkshakes in a fun, warm environment.
