Nashville Post, citing its sister publication Nashville Scene, reports that chef-owner Tandy Wilson is planning to sell his Germantown restaurant business, concluding a 19-year run. City House, located at 1222 Fourth Ave.

Wilson will sell to local restaurateurs Ken Levitan and Howard Greenstone, known for Adele's, Bajo Sexto, The 404 Kitchen, Emmy Squared, Sadie's and Ella's on 2nd. Wilson told the Nashville Scene he has known Levitan for a long time and can't wait to hear what they want to do with the space.

The sale is surprising because City House has defined its corner of Nashville dining for nearly two decades under its founding chef.

According to Nashville Post, Wilson said independently owning and operating a Nashville restaurant continues to become increasingly challenging — a candid admission about the economics facing chef-owned spots.

The plan, as Nashville Post reports via the Nashville Scene, is for City House to remain open through New Year's Eve, after which the restaurant will close for a brief reworking and open again in the winter under the new ownership.

Wilson's name staying attached through the handoff makes this a handover rather than a closure.

Nashville Post's restaurant notes also carry two closings.

Sunda New Asian in The Gulch will permanently cease operations after Saturday, Nov. 14, according to a social media post by the restaurant business; Nashville Post reports the post suggests ownership opted not to renew the lease and will focus on other markets. The restaurant, at 592 12th Ave.

S. in the mixed-use tower Icon, opened in April 2018 and is owned by Billy Dec's Chicago-based RockIt Ranch Productions. Separately, Nashville Post reports Mexican restaurant Social Cantina closed within a year and a half of opening at 820 Fourth Ave.

N., a property overlooking First Horizon Park.

Westword reports a very different kind of restaurant story from Denver: chef David Arnold (Freehand Provisions, The Counter at Odell's) and Bon Vin wine shop owner Hannah Cunningham are teaming up to launch a neighborhood bistro concept called Amateur in West Highland.

Westword reports both left careers in software to chase culinary dreams — hence the Latin-inspired name, meaning someone who does something for the love of it.

They are seeking a space of no more than 50 seats and will host a five-course preview dinner on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at Odell's Bagels, priced at $95 with an optional $45 wine pairing. Cunningham told Westword customers tell her weekly that the neighborhood needs a good chef-driven restaurant.
