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.
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.
