A Culinary Tour of Nashville City House Our first night we visited City House, where Chef Tandy Wilson has created an inventive Italian menu laced with Southern reinventions. The space, which has a cool industrial vibe, also has a wonderful outdoor space for warmer months. We ordered the octopus from the antipasti menu, which featured a hot rub, white beans, celery, red onion and lemon. It was a favorite of the group—we all wanted more! City House offers fresh herbs from the back garden, handmade pasta and an in-house charcuterie.   CITY HOUSE’S SAUSAGE, APPLES, RED ONION AND PARSLEY 6 sausage links (your favorite), preferably from a local butcher Peanut oil 1 lemon, sliced ½ of a red onion, sliced ¼ cup parsley leaves 1 apple, sliced Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough peanut oil to film bottom of pan and follow with sausages. Cook to golden brown on one side, flip and put in oven for 7 minutes. Remove sausage to rest. Distribute lemon slices on the bottom of the skillet, followed by onion slices, and cook briefly. Add parsley and apples, remove from heat and fold together. To serve, slice sausage in half and top with lemon/onion/apple mixture. Tandy Wilson 52 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM
