Ellen Chamberlain is a global citizen who is happy to call Memphis her forever home. The Michigan native has worked in media for nearly 25 years as a radio broadcaster, journalist and ghostwriter. As The Daily Memphian’s food and restaurant writer, she gives readers inside perspectives of their favorite restaurants and the people behind them, suggestions for the best bites around town and the latest food news from in and around Shelby County.

Stepping into one of the storefronts of the Wolf River Commons shopping center in Cordova is like stepping through a portal to another part of the world.

Prince Tea House is an Asian-European fusion restaurant decorated with pastels, wainscoting, marbled tabletops and gold flatware. Tea is served from delicate teapots and poured into charming, matching cups with saucers — but don’t worry, your jeans and sneakers are welcome in this posh dining room that manages to be both elegant and casual.
