There are so many small family-owned restaurants tucked away throughout the city of Memphis. Places where generations of family members have poured their hearts into providing customers with unique and memorable dining experiences.
These neighborhood gems are the soul of the Memphis restaurant scene and are worth seeking out.
When my friend called recently to tell me about their recent dinner at Correale’s Brooklyn Bridge, I knew I had to revisit this East Memphis restaurant.
