About Memphis, TN Restaurants
Memphis is known first and foremost for its mouthwatering barbecue — and we are all about pork here, thank you very much. Prepared in all different varieties like dry rub ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, wet ribs, and even spaghetti, Memphis' barbecue is world famous and never to be surpassed. Every Memphian has their personal favorite, and debates over the finest swine can be heard every evening at any barbecue joint. Try Central BBQ for killer pork nachos and the best all-round experience, with a huge deck for alfresco dining and super-friendly service; hit the Rendezvous for ribs and the social scene, and try the Bar-b-Que Shop for the best sauce.
Memphis has moved way beyond barbecue, however, thanks to a group of dedicated local chefs whose creativity and reputations have combined to turn Memphis into a dining destination. Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman, Ryan Trimm, Karen Carrier, Kelly English, Felicia Willet and others have brought a new energy to Memphis, and their eateries are getting the national attention they so rightly deserve. Try English's Restaurant Iris for innovative Creole, Trimm's Sweet Grass for Low Country comfort food, Willett's Felicia Suzanne's for fine dining, and the quartet of Ticer-Hudman restaurants - Catherine & Mary's, Andrew Michael, Porcellino's and Hog & Hominy - to get a taste of the contemporary Memphis dining scene.
