The owner of Knifebird will open The Public Bistro in the former Sweet Grass location in Cooper Young. The Commercial Appeal quotes owner Kate Ashby describing the new restaurant as "if Huey's and Houston's had a baby". Expect that one in early 2023.

Jojo’s Espresso truck will open a permanent location in Thornwood shopping center in Germantown at some point, Daily Memphian reports. 

The Lucky Cat guy seems to be working in whatever is replacing the former Farm & Fries place in Germantown. 

I still have my eye on Anima, a coffee and amaro bar coming to The Citizen apartments in midtown this year, from the creators of Vice & Virtue coffee roasting.

Bounty added everyone’s favorites back to the menu—yay! You can get your pomme frites with goat cheese, fried oysters, and eggplant parmesan again!

Restaurant Iris’s reopening in the Laurelwood Shopping Center is in progress.

Pantá (in the former Iris location) has a new late-night food menu, including a burger, and 25% off food for college students, military, and nurses (with ID) after 10 p.m.

Supper Club On 2nd, and upscale lounge-y spot is opening soon. 

Watch out Chic Fil A! Whataburger is open in Southaven.
