Meet Memphis Chef Felicia Willett

Memphis chef Felicia Willett is known for her high-quality twist on Southern Creole cuisine in a fine dining atmosphere. Her downtown restaurant, Felicia Suzanne's, celebrated 13 years in business this month. Felicia is originally from Arkansas, went to culinary school in Charleston, then worked in New Orleans before opening Felicia Suzanne’s in 2002. I Love Memphis intern Savannah sat down with Felicia to talk restaurants, food inspiration, her background, and Felicia’s love of Memphis.

Midtown Opera Festival 2015 Starts Tomorrow

Memphis has many awesome arts groups, and one of the most unique is Opera Memphis. You might think of opera as a bit stuffy or for a certain crowd, but that's just not true with Opera Memphis. They make an effort to involve the community and do out-of-the-box things to make this classical art more accessible, like 30 Days of Opera, kid-friendly performances, and Midtown Opera Festival.
