Amazon officials announced Tuesday the local launch of Amazon Restaurants, via which Amazon Prime members can have delivered meals from a limited number of Nashville restaurants.

Participating Nashville restaurants include: Virago, Saint Añejo, Whiskey Kitchen, and Moto Cucina + Enoteca and Tavern from M Street Entertainment Group; Chauhan Ale & Masala House, Tànsuŏ and The Mockingbird from Morph Hospitality Group; Pepperfire Hot Chicken, 417 Union and Prince's Hot Chicken Shack South.

A release does not note the number (if any) of Amazon Restaurant employees who will be based in Nashville, any costs associated with getting the service operational locally or terms of the deals with the participating area restaurants.

“From rustic Italian cuisine to innovative sushi, we're delighted that our chef-curated dishes can now be enjoyed by those who haven’t had a chance to try us yet,” says Rachael Schendel, M Street director of sales and marketing, in the release.

Jerry Rapisarda, Amazon Restaurants general manager, described Nashville as “one of the country's most up-and-coming food destinations.”
