A sushi pop-up, a pumpkin cinnamon roll latte and a tomato pie-inspired pizza are all on the list of topics this week for Sound Bites. And of course, that Dubai chocolate crepe.

In this episode, producer Natalie Van Gundy takes the mic and we count down our top three favorite dishes we’ve each eaten recently and give you all the details on how you can try them.

Then, we make a wish list of new and old Memphis restaurants we still need to try, and why.

Van Gundy offered a list of specific pastries and treats to try at Sweet Eye Coffee Roastery and Tous Les Jours. The whole conversation had our mouths watering.

I discussed the excellent sushi pop-up at Mary’s B.O.T.E. and gave a few New Orleans recommendations, including a newer place that makes the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had.
