We want to express our profound gratitude to everyone who has reached out to our team or stopped by Midtown Cafe over the past few weeks to support the restaurant and share their personal memories of Randy Rayburn (1950 - 2024).

Randy was truly a champion of Nashville and a caring boss, father and friend. We would like to extend an invite to our friends, family and community to celebrate the memories, accomplishments and impact that Randy made in Nashville. 

Randy's celebration of life will be held at Urban Grub on Monday, Aug. 26, from 5 to 10 p.m. The address is 2506 12th Ave S here in Nashville. We ask you to honor Randy's legacy by considering a suggested donation of $50 to The Duke and Dean Rayburn Trust or The Randy Rayburn Scholarship at The Randy Rayburn School of Culinary Arts at Nashville State. 

We want to express our appreciation for your continued support and gratitude for being welcomed as a longstanding member of this community. If you would like to honor your Midtown memories, the restaurant’s doors are open. His dream was to provide continued support for this community and his boys through the legacy of Midtown Cafe. We are here and will remain here.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Midtown Cafe team
