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. 

When people started posting about this food truck meal I knew I had to give it a try. Not only was it something I've never heard of before but it looked *fire emojis*.

It was my mission a few weeks ago to visit Taco Cat food truck determined to try the Birria Pizza I had seen so many posting about.

Taco Cat, a Mexican food truck as cute as its name, can be found in the parking lot of the Exxon gas station in Cordova (610 N Germantown Pkwy). They have a good little set up with a large shaded canopy and bright colored picnic tables to eat at or take it home to enjoy.

Call your mommas because the last and first bar in Memphis is back open.

It has been two long years since Momma’s opened their doors to customers but I found from my visit, just days after reopening, that it was like no time had passed at all.

Long-time regulars of Momma’s and The Dirty Crow Inn, the beloved spot that predated Momma’s, settled right back into their bar seats like they never left. 

Around every corner in Memphis, you’ll find a barbecue spot, but the uniqueness of each is what makes us the barbecue capital of the world. We have collected a list of our favorite eateries throughout the Midsouth that showcase a special twist on the barbecue scene you know and love.

A new Castalia Heights restaurant has two menus with two kitchens to serve up a fusion of vegan and meat dishes.

A House Divided: Plants vs. Meats

Arnold’s Smokehouse is the creation of a brother-sister duo: Shanon and Ivy Arnold. Shanon is the head chef with a deep culinary background. He’s not a vegan. However, his sister Ivy is a longtime vegan who helped inspire the restaurant as equally vegan as it is a smokehouse. 

One of Memphis' best charcuterie, cheese, and vegan snack board shop and cafe.

I’ve said many times before that I could survive solely on a charcuterie board, and especially if it’s a specialty board from Feast & Graze. 

Editor's Note (2/12/24): Feast & Graze can now be found at the Brooks Museum with a Poplar Plaza store coming soon. Photos and some information in this blog may reflect the first location. Be sure to visit their new spot!

Why the city’s newest Beale Street hotel is already a hub for Memphians working remotely.

Ed. Note: Check out the first of a new series from contributor Joe Sills featuring hidden gems and Memphis favorites. Joes's Gems, if you will. We'll kick off the series with some bragging rights: when Hyatt decided to create a new brand of hotel, the "Caption", they chose Memphis as the very first location. Nice! 

Memphis meats Mexico (see what I did there?)

Memphis's newest food truck, ¡Mexico In Memphis! opened today for lunch and parked at Baptist Corporate HQ. I'd stalked them on Instagram, so when I saw that the husband-and-wife team were ready to serve the public, I made a beeline for East Memphis.

A new cafe, perfect for first breakfast, second breakfast, and elevenses.

For more than 30 years, Robin Joyce’s A Catered Affair catering company has provided special meals for local events, parties, weddings, and dinners. And for all this time, she’s had a dream to open a cafe.
