The Edge District is booming with new businesses and the latest spot aims to take elevated fine dining and make it approachable.

JEM Dining offers a menu focused on local and seasonal ingredients so you can expect to see changes to it as the seasons and availability change. While the food has an elevated flavor it still offers a “comfort food” vibe.

JEM Dining stands for “Just Enjoy the Moment” and is the initials of co-owners and husband and wife duo: Josh and Emily Mutchnick.

While the University of Memphis is stamped on the restaurant, they have so much more to offer.

The Blue Room Restaurant is a blend between fine dining and a good ole’ fashioned bar. They’ve managed to curate an enriched experience with their twist on some of our favorite Southern dishes.  

Chicken and waffles? They’ve got it. Bayou shrimp and grits? Um, yes please. And their menu is filled with options for meat-lovers and beloved vegans.

Ice cream is always a good idea, but this is coming from a girl whose grandmother always keeps a tub stocked in the freezer. But it’s an even sweeter idea when we’re talking about Kaye’s Pints and Scoops. Who knew so much flavor and deliciousness could be contained in a bright pink pint?

The small batch creamery, created by Kiamesha Wilson, came to be during the pandemic. She would make homemade ice cream for her close friends and family, but her creations weren’t something she could keep to herself.
