Welcome to Table Talk, where The Daily Memphian writers and editors send the latest food news — along with a dash of this and that — directly to your inbox every Wednesday.
If you ever see that one of your favorite restaurants is hosting a wine dinner or a special tasting menu event, make a reservation.
These special nights are a rare opportunity to see your favorite restaurants, chefs and bartenders shine beyond your go-to orders.
The menus are designed to share the culinary team’s passions and allow them to prepare dishes that, while delicious, just may not make sense for their everyday menu.
