Every item is created from scratch, including the masa that is imported from the central valleys of Oaxaca. Victoria prides himself on his food preparation. Popping-up all around town, Alebrije serves Mexico City-inspired street food with a little twist and a lot of love. Knowing that Strategic Hospitality has taken the utmost precaution to protect the health and safety of their employees and patrons, ( hello, they wrote a playbook outlining the steps of safety they were taking during the pandemic), I felt comfortable making a reservation and having one of my first indoor dining experiences in months.Īlebrije, new to the Nashville dining scene, is led by chef Edgar Victoria. But who doesn’t these days?Īs I was scrolling aimlessly one day through Instagram, I saw that Alebrije and Bastion were having a collaboration dinner, and of course, it was one night only.
I miss making dinner reservations, getting dressed up, and going somewhere other than my dining room. There’s nothing more rewarding than sitting around the table with friends, laughing, and sharing a meal. While everyone else is baking their way through this pandemic, yes, I am looking at you with the sourdough starter, I am looking at my kitchen creations and stack of takeout clamshells rethinking one of the most elemental parts of our daily lives: food. Hugs and high-fives have been replaced by a friendly social distanced nod, and travel seems to be a distant memory as COVID-19 cases continue to spike and more borders close. Now, I am masking up and making sure that I have an arsenal of hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and gloves readily available. Pre-COVID-19, all I needed were my keys, cellphone, and the occasional handbag.
Let’s face it, we are six months into this pandemic, and living our best life looks and feels drastically different. Is it possible to feel normal when nothing is normal?
