A cookbook author and former restaurateur, Jennifer Chandler has been writing about food and dining for more than 25 years.

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.
