I gave my wife the original 100 Things to Eat in Memphis last night and she spent over 2 hours looking up the menus at all the places.
Well, techincally she only made it through #25 so now I have that AND this to look forward to... HAHA...
But at least we now have a Memphis Food Bucket List to start working through.
Thanks again!

It's been 10 years since I lived in my home town of Germantown and it was great to see some names on this list that I remember and miss. I didn't see the first 100 so I apologize if my suggestions were on that list. But when I am homesick these are the places that I miss the most! Boss Hog Salad / Germantown Commissary. The French Fries at Huey's The Alternative Pizza at Memphis Pizza Cafe (I know you have it listed but not that pizza)
Ok and don't laugh but at 3 am when you need some good ole grease to get you through the night...... Nothing beats Kyrstal's!!!!

If you're a sushi fan, you've got to try the "Mexico Roll" from Sakura. It's so delicious!

I moved to southern New England several years ago for work, and will return to Memphis sometime in early/mid-2015. This blog has been such a great resource, and provides hours of "OMG I can't wait" excitement. Thank you so much for reminding me why I love Memphis so much, and see y'all next year!
BTW, the food up here cannot even begin to compare.
