A cookbook author and former restaurateur, Jennifer Chandler has been writing about food and dining for more than 25 years. In her role as the food and restaurant writer for The Daily Memphian, she covers food news, provides readers an inside look into their favorite restaurants and offers suggestions for what to order at eateries across the Memphis area.
Chandler’s stories and recipes have been featured in national publications such as Real Simple, HGTV Magazine and Woman’s World. She’s also appeared on a number of national broadcast cooking segments including Food Network’s “Dinner: Impossible” and Ducks Unlimited TV. She also hosts a radio show “The Weekly Dish” on Memphis’s NPR station WKNO-FM.
She is the author of four cookbooks: “The Southern Pantry Cookbook,” “Simply Salads,” “Simply Suppers,” and “Simply Grilling.” While she boasts a degree from Le Cordon Bleu, this Memphis native is about making real food accessible for real families.
Step into Bog & Barley, and you feel like you’ve left Memphis and entered a pub in Dublin.
Bog & Barley comes to us from DJ Naylor, who also owns Cooper-Young’s Celtic Crossing Irish Pub. The 7,100-square-foot Bob & Barley opened in 2023 in East Memphis’ Regalia Shopping Center, and the restaurant and bar offers an elevated pub experience. Everything guests see — booths, tables, chairs, bars — was sourced from Ireland.
