Behind the velvet rope and the red carpet of Michelin’s first Southern awards, held Monday, Nov. 3, I found myself feeling like the luckiest fly on the most luxurious wall. I caught anxious whispers exchanged between the New Orleans delegation and witnessed emotional embraces backstage during the event, which marks a new chapter for the region’s dining scene.

As I stood in line to enter the Peace Center in Greenville, South Carolina, I hoped to catch a glimpse of some of my favorite chefs (both from Memphis and beyond) before the night was over.

Forever a “girl’s girl,” I noticed a small issue with the woman’s dress in front of me. I discreetly helped her, and she smiled warmly before introducing herself and her partner Chef Leonard Yu of the Michelin-starred Omakase Table in Atlanta. I was gobsmacked. Southern culinary stars were everywhere. You could literally reach out and touch them.
