The city of Memphis has SO much to offer. There is an incomparable heritage and passion present in Memphis eateries, offering everything from Vietnamese and Italian cuisine to expertly crafted local brews like Wiseacre.<\/p>\n

But I have to be honest, when it comes down to it, there are a few things that just can\u2019t be beat in the city that\u2019s home to the blues. And those are Gus\u2019 Fried Chicken, Rendezvous Pulled Pork Nachos, and the BBQ Shrimp at The Second Line. Those guilty pleasures of mine are by no means extraordinary, but rather basic (highly caloric) and well executed plates. Furthermore the ambience of each locale, the no frills of Gus\u2019 \u2013 the relaxed ambiance of TSL \u2013 and the obscene allure of Rendezvous\u2026it\u2019s hard to resist. I did learn on my last trip to Rendezvous that they arguably also have the best brisket I\u2019ve had in the south. Furthermore TSL\u2019s cocktail program is hands down unbeatable in Tennessee. Above all the soul of the food in that city will warm your heart no matter where you come from or what your purpose is for being in Memphis.<\/p>\n

And in the end, once you feel to full to stand, take that last sip of hurricane and hit the dance floor at Raifords. That time warp will cure anything that ails you, or at least distract you for a little while.
