Downtown Dining Week began in the aughts and includes more than 50 participating restaurants this year. 

This month, on Nov. 18, we’re going to Dave and Amanda Krog’s restaurant, Dory.

Napa Café hosts its annual Heart Full of Soul wine dinner to benefit Stax Music Academy. A year ago at this time, we were hearing rumors that Pancho’s was going to close. 

This weekend, a hot wing festival begins with a chicken parade and a beer festival has brews from more than 30 local sources. 

Memphis Food & Wine Festival is back on Saturday, and if you take a few minutes to make a plan when you walk in the gate, you’ll find you can get to every tent you want and have an even better time.

Saturday is full of events, from a chow-chow contest in Stanton to Brewhaha at Hampline to Oktoberfeast at Raven & Lily in Collierville. If you figure out how to do it all, share your strategy.

Ready for barbecue, bacon and eggs? Plus, The Majestic Grille launches a three-course lunch called The Friday Matinee. 

When fall comes, the festival schedule fills up, and this year, folks are back in full swing, living it up like it’s 2019. Celtic whiskey dinners are back, and last week, we told you about two dedicated women in food.

Farm and Fig has added weekday lunch as a dine-in option at its small, mostly takeout-oriented shop on the edge of Cooper-Young.

Look for a Creole Italian pop-up in town next week only, read about every single thing to eat at Pantà and find out how Ryan Hopgood is doing.

Asian Palace’s doors closed for the last time on Sunday, and soon Dim Sum King will open in the large space on Summer; get your tickets for Science of Wine and for our Daily Memphian lunch.

A Daily Memphian employee’s saucy situation on I-55, Boucherie & Blues is back this Labor Day weekend after a long COVID hiatus and tickets are on sale for our luncheon at 117 Prime.

This week brings plans for another Friday lunch, a Dim Sum King for Summer Avenue and another Whataburger location — but hopefully not the line. 

This week brings another restaurant closing, leaving a large vacancy near Crosstown and a question about whether the restaurant will open again somewhere else. 

Sunrise opens on Mondays on Jefferson, plans to open next month on Poplar, and the Crazy Italians in Cordova has closed for good because of a staffing shortage.

Some bad news, some good news and a bunch of restaurant and food events are on the table. 

Two Memphis restaurants named as “crave-worthy restaurants across the South” as eateries more and more becomes reasons to travel, not just part of a trip. 

Sure, there are tomatoes coming in, but where do we find the best ones? Get your tickets for our Friday lunch at Magnolia & May, and plan ahead for the golf tournament and Memphis Food & Wine Festival.

It’s National French Fry Day, our Summer Avenue series has concluded and our Friday lunch was so much fun that we’re bringing them back once a month.

A sure sign of summer (besides 100 degree temps) is here; the Summer Avenue tour continues; and you tell us what we should do next.

Tuyen’s Asian Bistro will bring back many Saigon Le favorites, Summer Avenue Part 2 awaits you, and read about the Marmalade.

Friday lunch is back. We’ll be at Salt|Soy on July 8, so make your reservations now. And our Summer Avenue series has started with a guide to the west end of the street. 

Le Bon Appetit was a nice event, and eating food from visiting chefs is a great way to get an idea of what we’d like to have here.

The loss of a neighbor followed by an old photo bring a flood of memories and reminder that time is fleeting. We bring you new barbecue, wings, the return of a big event and Penny’s new restaurant Downtown.

Memphis Italian Festival, Celtic Whiskey Tasting and 2022 Craft Food and Wine Festival are all upon us, and look at Grind City Brewing, taking up all the river views.
