Leading the charge on all things food & beverage at 1 Hotel Nashville is Top Chef Alum Chris Crary, who brings more than 20 years of culinary experience and sustainability expertise, having made Music City his home after leading the culinary team at 1 Hotel West Hollywood in California. 

Via the international brand’s action-oriented commitment to sustainability, their newest property brings some of the most unparalleled dedication to the environment Nashville has seen to date. Found throughout the hotel, these commitments shine in Chef Crary’s programming across all three of the hotel’s food and beverage concepts. 

At the center of Chef Crary’s kindship between hospitality and sustainability is 1 Kitchen, an ingredient-driven concept located on the ground floor of 1 Hotel Nashville. Inspired by the 1 Kitchen Crary originally opened at 1 Hotel West Hollywood, the restaurant’s farm-to-table and sustainably-driven approach showcases a myriad of zero-waste menu items while sourcing ingredients from local purveyors and even from on-site harvests and the property’s very own bee garden.
