Having a Bite
Memphis, Tennessee
What you’ll find in Memphis is that every restaurant in town claims to have the best bar-b-q and sauce. You can’t go wrong by playing it safe and stopping by one of the Neely’s two Memphis locations (5700 Mt. Moriah & 670 Jefferson). This clan of cooks have become national celebrities via their show on the Food Channel and its well earned, both because of their inspirational story and the quality of their food. There are two other spots I’d recommend in Memphis. The Beauty Shop (966 South Cooper) is in the artsy Cooper-Young Historic District of Memphis and is located on the site of an old beauty shop, so the old dryers and many of the other fixtures are part of the motif. For Memphis the menu is relatively light. My family and I enjoyed the fried chicken and watermelon meal. One of the most famous soul food restaurants in Memphis is the Four Way Grill, which is located in the Soulsville section of town. Rev. Jesse Jackson and others associated with the civil rights movement still stop by when they are in town. The fish and the deserts will fill you up quite nicely.
