The Dabeli Whether it’s in a music studio, a writers’ room or a restaurant kitchen, Nashville is at its absolute best when creative folks come together to collaborate. The next couple of weeks will feature a trio of cool collabs at local restaurants, so make plans to check them out. As my colleague Margaret Littman wrote about earlier this month, Bagelshop is partnering with local chefs as part of its New Year, All Year bagel collaboration series, and for October, they’re teaming up with Tailor chef Vivek Surti for a special sandwich in honor of Diwali.
Available on Oct. 29 and 30, the Dabeli sandwich draws from the traditional Gujarati street food of Surti’s heritage for flavor inspirations, featuring a spiced potato patty, tangy tamarind chutney, spicy chili peanuts and crispy sev, all served on an onion bagel. (I had to look “sev” up — so it’s crispy chickpea noodles, if you also didn’t recognize that one.
) The sandwich will be pressed on the grill with every ingredient made in-house under Vivek’s direction. Bagelshop’s ‘New Year, All Year’ Brings Cultural Celebrations to All The yearlong series of collaborations kicks off this year with Rosh Hashanah You can get the Dabeli in ya belly at 2708 Old Lebanon Pike. In another bit of Tailor news, Surti recently announced on Instagram that the restaurant started Sunday lunch service last week, with an abbreviated version of his evening menu served as a coursed lunch beginning at noon.
