NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A month after his unexpected death, Randy Rayburn's friends and coworkers will remember the man behind several iconic Nashville restaurants.
A celebration of life will be held in 12 South on Monday night at Urban Grub from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. It's open to the community.
Organizers suggest a donation to The Duke and Dean Rayburn Trust or The Randy Rayburn Scholarship at The Randy Rayburn School of Culinary Arts at Nashville State in his honor.
In a social media post from his restaurant Midtown Cafe, it states the spot has been busy with people reaching out and stopping by to share their favorite memories.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
