Michael Hanna, chef, founder and owner of St. Vito Focacceria, joins Nashville Sports Report to talk about building one of Nashville’s distinctive restaurants, the city’s food and hospitality culture, and the connection between restaurants, sports and the communities that form around them.

Also this week, Nashville SC completes a remarkable nine-points-in-eight-days run with wins over Inter Miami, the New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew. The Columbus match provided the wildest finish of the stretch, with Reed Baker-Whiting and Andy Nájar scoring in stoppage time to turn a 2–1 deficit into a 3–2 win. Nashville now has 49 points through 21 matches—the most in MLS history through that point of a season.

Plus:

• Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans have an encouraging joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks ahead of their second preseason game.
• The Nashville Sounds continue their season before heading to Jacksonville for a six-game series against the Jumbo Shrimp.
• Vanderbilt women’s soccer improves to 3–0 with a 4–1 win over No. 21 Memphis.
• The Nashville Stampede extend their franchise-record winning streak.
