Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Memphis right now.
Although Memphis has a satisfying variety of restaurants, the local passion is barbecue; the city has 70-odd barbecue places. Popular "meat-and-twos" and "meat-and-threes" (diners serving meat with two or three vegetable side dishes) specialize in fried chicken, turnip greens, corn bread, and other southern specialties. Numerous soul-food restaurants, offering country specialties like fried chicken and pork chops, can be found outside of Downtown.
An informal but artsy bistro in the eclectic Cooper-Young neighborhood in midtown, Tsunami fuses Pacific Rim cuisines. Don't miss the rack of lamb, crisp duck breast, and, if it's on the menu, the sublime seared sea bass with soy beurre blanc on black Thai rice. Local art livens up the casual atmosphere.
