Shotgun Willie's

Three pitmasters have come together to roll out the one thing they thought Nashville's barbecue scene was missing: Texas-style brisket. They launched Shotgun Willie's BBQ, a food truck that specializes in just that. The brisket is so tender it can be pulled apart with a plastic fork while standing while eating (something you oft do from a food truck). It is the slow-cooking that does it: The meat is smoked and seasoned just with salt and pepper. The restaurant also has beef sausage on the menu. Eventually the team plans to have a brick-and-mortar location, possibly in East Nashville, but for now you can find the truck at street fairs, breweries and other locations listed on their social media pages and their website.
