Since I wrote about New Orleans food, I'll have to mention the top few places that I HAD to visit after returning to Memphis. Number one on our list is Central BBQ Memphis. Brian and I both agree that this is hands down the best BBQ in Memphis. I love the half bbq nachos:
The other spot I had to go to was the Little Tea Shop. It is another one of my Memphis favorites. Don't let the name fool you- it is not tea and crumpets- it is amazing home cooked meat and vegetable with a different daily special each week day. It is a spot where Memphis lawyers and businessman are known on a first name basis and where the regulars have their usual table. The owner knows everyone, and if you go there enough she will put your picture on the wall (when I left Memphis we finally made the wall!). Corn sticks are served with every meal and they are delicious!
Another spot that I can't believe I haven't been to since we have been back is Kooky Canuck (formerly Big Foot). I will go there soon and will have to take pictures of their GIANT burgers and most amazing chocolate chip cookie ice cream dessert. The owner, Shawn Danko, was so great to all of us in dental school, and it was the spot we would always head any time we finished a big test or a year of school or really any other excuse. Ok that's enough rambling for tonight....
