Here in Nashville, and I’m sure LA and some other places, there’s always chit chatter about some studio closing down, getting sold, being converted into a micro chip manufacturing plant
And every once and a while it turns out to be true.
But nice studios, the legendary rooms, will never die.
Why?
I’ve learned to make a pretty legit steak here at my house. I also have developed the skills to make an old fashioned that rivals any swanky bar in Nashville.
Both of these things I make at home, I have everything I need at home. And the end result is delicious and I thoroughly enjoy the process of getting there.
BUT…I’d rather go to Kane Prime or Patterson House or Old Glory for the same food and drink and sit in a dimly lit, leather backed booth with a candle in the middle and a menu that doesn’t list the prices for things because you know its just all expensive.
That’s where I WANT to be. It’s special. It makes me feel different than eating and drinking at my kitchen table, even though I like my kitchen table too and it absolutely serves the purpose.
You’re beautiful studios with “expensive” rates are safe.
