Hello! I'm Jalyn Souchek, the Director of Content for I Love Memphis Blog! I love calling the 901 home.

I hope you'll love experiencing Memphis with me.

Build your perfect Memphis meal:

I love to eat so if I were to have only one meal left.. I’m going all out. I’d start with an app of Gumbo Fries from Blue City Cafe or Bayou Fries from Chef Tam, wings from Good Fortune or Central’s (honey gold and Jamaican Jerk), potato salad from Fat Larry’s, side of bbq spaghetti from Bar-B-Q Shop, and fried okra from Soul Fish. All paired with a Beale Street Brewing Space Age Sippin’.

Your most memorable Memphis moment:

College GameDay on Beale Street. That was an electric and perfect morning. I was still working in news then and was able to take it in up close and on the stage at some points. The fun and joy of everyone down there that morning is unbeatable.

Hi, Did the Riverbeat Festival change from the Beale Street Festival, If so, what are the dates. We are planning a girls trip and want to make sure of the dates.

RiverBeat has different organizers but falls on the same weekend that BSMF traditionally was. BSMF paused last year.
