Dining

Memphis’ acclaimed chefs take the cuisine of the Southern USA to a new level. Memphis boasts 100-plus barbecue joints, and at least as many preparation styles. But it's not just about barbecue here: Memphis is also a hot spot for cuisine from all over the world. At Memphis restaurants and bars, request local microbrews Ghost River, High Cotton, Memphis Made and Wiseacre. (On weekends, the latter three open tap rooms. Sample one of Memphis Made’s seasonal brews.) Learn more at: www.visittheusa.se/experience/tasty-guide-whats-cooking-memphis
