Food Scene

There are plenty of BBQ resturants in Memphis but my favorite for a barbecue sandwich is Central BBQ. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich (you have to get it with slaw).

When I am in the mood for barbecue ribs I go The Bar-B-Q Shop. The ribs are tender and moist and fall off the bone. I like dry rub and barbecue sauce on the side. They come in regular or spicy hot.

A casual cousin of Chef Kelly English's Restuarant Iris (it is right next door). The Second Line offers delicious authentic New Orleans fare. I like the roast beef po'boy. On a nice day sit outside on the patio. You can enjoy a drink menu which includes local beers and some interesting herb infused artisan cocktails

They call it a cafe, but this cozy little restaurant is so much more. Known for its "comfort food" the Stone Soup Cafe offers breakfast & lunch. Everything is made on the premises, and some things including herbs and some veggies - come straight from the restaurant's garden.
