New restaurants to try this weekend

Hello Nashville! Senior dining reporter Mackensy Lunsford here, bringing you a fresh batch of food news.

It’s all about Thanksgiving in my world. That’s because I’m also the editor of our sister cooking site, Southern Kitchen . If you’re looking for recipes and Thanksgiving inspiration, I’ve got you covered right here with recipes, cooking videos and technique tutorials. I hope you check it out.

But also if you’re not feeling like fiddling around in the kitchen this holiday season, I have you covered there too.

I’ve started a list of restaurants offering catered Thanksgiving meals to go , as well as restaurants open on the holiday so you can go out and play if you want to. With an abundance of hotels serving holiday visitors, you have plenty of choices.

There’s a good chance that some of you aren’t planning that far ahead. You’re just trying to get through the week, right? Don’t worry, Friday is almost here.

A weekend trip to the Factory at Franklin could be fun, especially since we’re looking at a decent amount of rain. There’s another good reason to visit: The return of classic Southern restaurant Saffire and the first expansion of Deb Paquette’s Etch. Some other major players have also announced plans for new venues at The Factory. Read more about that here .
