Tucked away in the Riverside Village strip in funky East Nashville, TN is Watanabe Sushi and Asian Restaurant. By all accounts the food is tremendous, but what blows my mind most about this place is Hide Watanbe, the chef. It's not neccessarily his blade-wielding skills or dead-on palate that have elevated him to cult status. It could be his finger picking skills that have everyone talking. This guy is such a talented banjo picker that he's played with the likes of legends such as Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe, just to name a couple.
