A new seafood restaurant slated for the former Fancy’s space Downtown.
A bagel shop opening a new location seven times as big as its first.
A Memphis couple pivoting back to dips after a restaurant fire.
And a restaurant with a “lights on but no one’s home” vibe that finally opens with a menu and staff.
Those are all recent storylines from the Memphis food scene, and reporter Sophia Surrett is here to talk about them all in another restaurant roundup.
Bon appetit.
