When someone asks me to name "the" place to dine out in Memphis, I usually find it impossible to choose just one. My tastes are wide-ranging and my mind is open, so my answer usually depends on two factors: how experimental of an eater the inquisitor is and how far she's willing to venture outside the I-240 loop.
Every month, 55,000 readers look to Memphis magazine to provide them with in-depth coverage of every aspect of life in the Bluff City. Those readers represent the best and brightest in our community, the movers and shakers who help make this city - the corporate home of FedEx, the cultural capital of the Mississippi Delta, and, of course, the birthplace of rock-and-roll and the home of the blues - the very special place it is today.

By Taylor Eason |
June 1, 2010
Of the true enigmas in the world — Stonehenge, The Pyramids, Macchu Picchu — may I add food and wine pairings? Sure, it's not as grandiose as aged, weathered ruins, but it's as elusive as the Holy Grail, at least to many of the foodies among us.
