This is our food blog in Memphis. Lots of good food, recipes, ideas, and knowledge. We write about what we eat. We eat what we like. We like good food.
You can't eat cheeseburgers, bbq and fried chicken every day (though Memphis has the best of all three) and live a long life. So this blog will try to provide alternatives. That said, here is a list of some our favorite unhealthy establishments in Memphis
Memphis has an amazing array of soul food, bbq, and burger joints many of which have been featured in cooking magazines and on the food network.
Here are our favorites:
Soulfood/Fried Chicken: Uncle Lou's for Honey Dipped fried chicken, Ellen's Soulfood (they are in the process of moving , but have the best fried chicken and mac and cheese in Memphis, not to mention fried okra), Gus's Fried Chicken---it's touristy and takes too long, the sides are terrible, but they serve quarts of beer and have a juke box.
Barbecue: Payne's Barbecue on Lamar has the best chopped sandwiches and at $3.50 they are the best deal in town. Cozy Corner ribs must be experienced to be believed. Best in the world? Maybe. If you are eating after 6pm, try A&R Barbecue on Elvis Presley Blvd. Ribs, Sandwich, and sides are all great.
Cheeseburgers: The Lamplighter serves wonderful patty melts and is a top notch beer joint straight out of the 70s. Fantastic old country/western juke box that only plays 45s. Wild Bill's, one of the city's finest authentic soul clubs not only has great live music and dancing on weekends, but also serves one of the tastiest cheeseburgers I've ever eaten.

I'm confused about why this is called a "Memphis foods" blog. It seems like it is about how you don't like Memphis food, so you cook food at home. You don't even give recommendations for places to dine that are not cheeseburgers - and I never knew cheeseburgers were synonymous with Memphis anyway.
As we have just stated above, we LOVE Memphis food. But, it's hard to eat healthy here. So, we are providing suggestions for simple recipes that you can make at home (including Memphis-Style BBQ!!!). We are planning on posting about our favorite restaurants in town, but we've only had the blog up for a month or two and haven't quite gotten that far.
Thanks for your suggestions!
