When it comes to Memphis dining, what do we want that we don’t already have?
It’s a common food topic, one I’ve batted around on multiple podcasts over the years, and “Montana” has never come up.
But maybe it should have?
It’s one of the handful of U.S. states I’ve never visited, but a little internet research on the foods of Montana and the Mountain West yields lots of beef, bison and elk, huckleberries, flatland cherries and meat-filled pasties.
You’ll find some of those things on the menu at The Overland, a Montana-influenced restaurant that opened last week on the top floor of the TownePlace Suites hotel in Germantown’s Thornwood development.
