The September/October issue of Sophisticated Living Nashville puts restaurateur Keith McNally on the cover, the Englishman behind Balthazar and Pastis whose new memoir, I Regret Almost Everything, is candid enough to make a country song blush. He sits down with Features Editor Carolyn Smith Bryant for a conversation on heartbreak, reinvention, and the news already making its mark on Nashville's food scene: Pastis.

Inside, we pull up a stool at Antoinette's Wine + Provisions, the new West Nashville wine bar built like an extension of owner Lauren Maranto's own dining room table, thread our way into The Stitching Belle, where former New York food stylist Kelley Teckman has turned her Sylvan Park storefront into Nashville's most stylish needlepoint destination, and step inside a secluded Leiper's Fork estate where the architecture bends to the landscape rather than the other way around. We also let you know about The Charleston Literary Festival, and suggest you "book" it there! 

And of course, the social calendar keeps right on turning, with coverage of the Legacy Ball, l'Eté du Vin, the Tennessee Waltz and Heritage Ball patron parties, Broadway Brunch, and the kickoff to Swan Ball season. Nashville's calendar never really slows down; it just changes clothes for autumn.
