First, thanks for the tipoff to the Pamphleteer. Had not heard of it, and just signed up!
Second, we've eaten at Locust twice and really enjoyed it both times--but note that the first time (march 2021) was significantly cheaper than the second (October 2022). We would agree with you that the menu isn't really tied to Nashville. Nonetheless, we will go back. We enjoyed each course on the second visit--like you, we ordered everything. (First visit, the menu was still embryonic....) Full disclosure, our experiences are undoubtedly colored by the fact that we've loved dining with Trevor since New year's Eve 2013, at Catbird . But, best in the USA is a mighty big pair of shoes....
Finally, to follow up on your earlier Chiloe posts--we really enjoyed Curanto (not cooked in traditional manner). Unfortunately, despite a 72 day trip, last-minute ferry issues limited us to 2 nights on the islands. The architecture and wildlife were breath-taking though--even though it was MUCH busier and more populated than the areas further south.
