Chicago-based restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You is planning two concepts in Nashville this year.
Aba is slated for 345 Houston St. near the former Turnip Green space in Wedgewood-Houston. It is the third location for the restaurant, which features modern Mediterranean food, with existing locations in Chicago and Austin. Chef CJ Jacobson’s menu features smoky garlic hummus, whipped feta spread, shawarma-spiced skirt steak and frozen Greek yogurt with olive oil and sea salt, according to a press release.
