One of Nashville’s most anticipated summer dishes is making its return! Starting Thursday, July 2, Tailor will bring back its cult-favorite Tomato Sandwich for a limited seasonal run, just in time for peak tomato season.
Created by Chef Vivek Surti, the Tomato Sandwich layers peak-season heirloom tomatoes and crisp cucumber on soft toasted white bread with a rich housemade garlic aioli, finished with flaky salt and black pepper. The Tomato Sandwich has developed a loyal following over the years, with guests waiting each summer for its return to the menu.
