    About this ebook

    There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.

    But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.

    This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.

    “Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.

    For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.

    Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.

    Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.

    Bon Appétit!

      WHY MEMPHIS?

      dsc_00851

      THOUGH MEMPHIS IS THE biggest city in Tennessee, Nashville is the capital. There’s always been something of a rivalry between the two cities.

      Nashville may claim to be Music Capital of the World, but Memphis is almost universally recognized as the home of the Blues. 

      And Elvis? Where did the King choose to live? Memphis has Graceland, Elvis Presley’s big mansion that draws tens of thousands of visitors a year.

      Like many another city I’ve covered, Memphis has rediscovered its Downtown area after leaving it to rot for decades. New businesses are thriving, artists are creating exciting storefronts and galleries, the retail scene is getting more interesting, new bars are popping up.

      Memphis also is developing as a center for innovative cuisine, not as advanced as Nashville is (yet), but things are happening.

      One thing you can do in Memphis just about cheaper than you can anywhere else is eat some of the best BBQ to be found in America. There are countless places serving up Memphis style BBQ. (Actually, I did count once, and there are about 75
