This week on “The AM/DM”: Michelin stars have been a thing in Europe since 1900 when the first guides were published in France. But this year marked the first time the Michelin Guide came for restaurants in the American South. In another episode, after more than a month of the Memphis Safe Task Force, people are wondering what happens when the surge ends. And there is nothing like the promise of a new grocery store, especially one that’s new to the market.

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump but agreed on “Behind The Headlines” with Trump’s assessment of the set of elections that saw Democratic victory. And state Rep. Justin J. Pearson talked about his tenure in the Tennessee House of Representatives and his views on the Memphis Safe Task Force on another episode of the show.

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington recap a disappointing start to the Memphis Grizzlies’ road trip and discuss Zach Edey’s imminent return.
