I just returned from Nashville, Tennessee, where I checked in on the progress at SILO, a Southern-influenced bistro in historic Germantown. As you can see above, the restaurant's centerpiece, a birch basket weave, has been installed, along with the reclaimed red cedar on the walls. Both materials will be stained this week and the walls painted in warm, rich hues. The grand opening is scheduled for August 17, and excitement is building for this new venture by Chef Clay Greenberg.
