Writer Josh Carlucci tried the food truck’s bhel puri, the tandoori wings and the seekh kebab roll, if you’re looking for something crisp, light and oddly addicting. 

When Joshua Carlucci saw pork ceviche on the menu, he knew it was his duty to order it along with the regular fish ceviche and compare the two.

Some of the best things in life are found between bread. Especially when that thing is meat. And especially, especially when that meat is lamb and beef.

Masti doesn’t have the extensive range that you might find at longer-standing Indian restaurants, but the dishes on its menu are made very well. 

The birria is tender and spicy, as it should be, and one cup of the fire-red broth is the perfect amount to dip three tacos. But, they also have California burritos. 

I Love Pho recently opened, and while the simple beef noodle pho is the cheapest bowl of soup on the menu, you’d never guess it. 

Though Bain’s is known mostly for its Texas barbecue, you can find some delicious deals on the restaurant’s lesser-known sandwich menu. 

Ermyias Shiberou started the StickEm food truck in 2012 to serve various kebabs, but today’s $10 deal is the lamb, braised in a sweet, spicy and sticky sauce. 

Like all things Vietnamese, this noodle salad contrasts rich, savory, fatty flavors with the fresh, crunchy and bright.

If your obsession with finding a good Cuban sandwich is as unhealthy as Joshua Carlucci’s, you might know that Mexico has its own everything-but-the-kitchen-sink version of a Cubano.

These tacos are served with your choice of beef, chicken, pork or veggies, cilantro, pico de gallo and — for a little extra — a side of queso.

Some of the best brisket — and brisket sandwiches, for that matter — Joshua Carlucci has ever had has been here in Memphis.

Chicken 65 pizza goes big in the best possible way, combining local naan with tomato sauce, generous mozzarella, onion, spinach, chicken and mint chutney. 

Enter Tamboli’s: an undeniably adorable restaurant with osteria-style Italian fare and a charming, albeit narrow, patio.

“There have been moments in my life when my concept of barbecue is irrevocably altered henceforth. And that’s exactly what happened to me at Mande Dibi.”

I got my Italian beef sandwich the only way I know how: hot and dipped. It may or may not sound sexy to you, but this is actual Italian beef terminology. Before you order one, let’s talk about the lingo.

Today’s $10 Deal starts with a question: If you were a popsicle, what type of popsicle would you be? 

In heat like this, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as Mediterranean food. And few scratch the itch quite like Andalusia in East Memphis.

Never would Joshua Carlucci think to combine mushrooms and a blueberry waffle, but the result made him question why he hasn’t done so before. Plus, challah French toast makes another appearance.

All the bánh mì at Mochi & Mi are under $10, and they’re just as big — if not bigger — than any other restaurant’s in town. They’re also better.

As the name somewhat implies, everyone at Sai Biryani Point was eating biryani, but the paneer pakora is worth writing home — or Google Maps — about. 

At Zio Matto, American flavors such as peanut butter chocolate chip and honey vanilla ride sidesaddle to classic Italian flavors like stracciatella, pistachio, gianduia and fior di latte.

“I’d never really thought of lamb as much of a sandwich meat, outside the context of the Basque food or in a gyro. This one, though, is full American style, on a hero roll with mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and onions.”

Kinfolk is breakfast food for people who are into food, but it’s far from pretentious. It’s blue-collar-baller, if you will. Truck-stop-gourmet.

It might sound boring to spend too much time talking up a chicken sandwich, but Belltower’s is a sleeper hit.
