What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Adele's is chef Jonathan Waxman's farm-to-table restaurant in Nashville's Gulch neighborhood, known for Southern comfort food cooked over a wood-fired grill and for its weekend brunch buffet, according to the restaurant's own site, adelesnashville.com. Waxman, chef-owner of New York's Barbuto, opened Adele's in 2014 with partners Howard Greenstone and Ken Levitan, according to the Nashville Scene's coverage of the opening; the restaurant is named for Waxman's mother. The restaurant's own site currently describes it as "a 12-year strong local gem," consistent with a 2026 anniversary, and lists dinner hours of 5-9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, plus a Saturday-Sunday brunch buffet from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The site also lists an active reservations system and a Monday-Thursday happy hour from 4-6 p.m. at the bar. The site now links to LinkedIn under the name Red Pebbles Hospitality as the group behind the restaurant.
