Since opening in 2011, The Catbird Seat has been a stage for culinary innovation and a platform for Nashville’s emerging talent. Brian Baxter, the restaurant’s fifth chef, concluded his tenure on Aug. 17.
As of this Friday, Sept. 20, the U-shaped counter will have new chefs at its helm — Tiffani Ortiz and Andy Doubrava. The two are behind the nomadic culinary series Slow Burn, a “roving, climate-conscious concept” that took the chefs coast-to-coast six times over the course of two years.
Ortiz and Doubrava will begin their Catbird journey at the original location above The Patterson House on Friday, Sept. 20. Both concepts will move to Paseo South Gulch’s Bill Voorhees building at a later date.
Reservations are now open for the chefs’ debut and beyond. If you’d like to look back at Baxter’s four years at Catbird, pre-order the trade edition of “In the Catbird Seat” (the original book sold out quickly).
