100 More Things To Eat In Memphis (2015 Edition)

100 More Things To Eat In Memphis (2015 Edition)

One of the most popular posts ever on this blog is the original "100 Things To Eat in Memphis [Before You Die]" list, published in 2012. Since then, these kinds of food bucket lists have popped up all over Memphis sites and food blogs with good reason: determining the absolute 100 "must eat this before you die" menu items is a pretty monuments (and sometimes controversial) task. 100 more things to eat in Memphis I compiled this third edition based on a) my own Memphis dining experiences, b) everything I've read and heard from fellow foodies and diners, c) what I think is representative of the current Memphis dining scene, and d) with a slight slant towards restaurants that have opened since the last list came out in mid-2013. Here's the list, in alphabetical order. How many have you tried? 1. Adult grilled cheese from 3 Angels on Broad (closed) 2. Ahi Tuna Wontons from Bardog Tavern 3.
