ABOUT ANDY LITTLE
After moving to Nashville in 2013, Andy Little has made a name for himself in one of the South’s rising culinary scenes. Gaining James Beard attention as a semifinalist for Best Chef Southeast in 2017, Little established his first Nashville restaurant, Josephine, as one of Nashville’s leading restaurants and is poised to do the same for PRIMA, for which he took the reins of in June 2017. Chef Little’s cooking revolves around roots, whether they are the turnips and carrots he plucks from the ground or the historical recipes he notably revitalized during his tenure in the Pennsylvania Dutch farm country where he grew up. Seasonal and spontaneous, Little’s ground-to-gourmet plates create a visceral experience, always meant to tell a story behind the meal. Today, Little has refined these principles and created a style of cuisine that is unique to Nashville where he blends classical French training with regional raw ingredients while exploring the Pennsylvania Dutch foodways of his youth.
