People have asked and they've asked for a long time. Now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for is here.

Gus’s World Famous Hot and Spicy Fried Chicken finally added a Fried Chicken Sandwich to their menu but only at select locations--for now! And after trying it– I dream about the juicy deliciousness often.

The Public Bistro is the Goldilocks of Dining

Cooper-Young’s newest restaurant is described as if “Huey’s and Houston’s had a baby” meaning it’s the best of both worlds.

The Public Bistro recently opened in the former Sweetgrass space in Cooper-Young. The restaurant comes from Kate Ashby and Kyle Bankston who also run Knifebird – a cute wine bar just up the street.

Everyone is familiar with the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The Public Bistro is that “just right” fit Goldilocks was on the hunt for during her trespassing of someone else’s home. 

Order the Moroccan Tea and Pastilla at Andalusia

For traditional Moroccan food, a visit to Andalusia in east Memphis is a must.

We recently popped by Andalusia Restaurant, located in Sanderlin Centre, and we had the most joyful time and experience. There's a reason this spot has almost a perfect five star rating out of 200+ reviews.

Andalusia is a historic region in Spain that was once ruled by Moroccans. It was a melting pot of culture and people. After the Spanish inquisition, many people of Andalusia found refuge in Morocco.
