Explore Memphis, Tennessee through its soulful, flavorful, and surprising culinary gems in this food-packed episode! From funky diners to historic landmarks, we dive into Southern comfort food, Cuban flavors, world-class barbecue, and the glamorous charm of a luxury hotel — all dished up with heartfelt stories and local pride.
📍 Stop 1: The Liquor Store (Broad Avenue)
Despite the name, this vibrant spot serves a hearty breakfast with a Latin-American twist. Owners Lisa and Luis transformed a 1950s liquor store into a retro diner known for its killer Cuban sandwich layered with mustard, pork, ham, pickles, and Swiss. Add buttery Texas toast and honey butter, and you’ve got magic. The sweet potato hash and Salisbury steak round out a comforting, soulful start.
📍 Stop 2: The Arcade Restaurant
Memphis’ oldest café, this 100-year-old gem was Elvis Presley’s favorite lunch haunt. Sit in “The Elvis Booth” and try his go-to: a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich on thick Texas toast. Family-run for four generations, this nostalgic spot serves old-school vibes and Southern charm.
📍 Stop 3: Central BBQ
Barbecue is a religion here, and Central BBQ is its cathedral. With smokers running 24/7, it’s all about fall-apart pork shoulder, smoky brisket, and spicy “muddy” wings marinated, smoked, fried, and seasoned to perfection. Don't miss their Memphis-style BBQ nachos with homemade chips and gooey cheese sauce.
📍 Stop 4: Alcenia's
Owner Betty Joyce serves healing through food after personal loss. Her soulful menu features fried chicken, sautéed cabbage, hot water cornbread, fried green tomatoes, and “Getaway” Kool-Aid — sweet, vibrant, and full of love. Every dish is a tribute to resilience and Southern family tradition.
📍 Stop 5: The Peabody Hotel
Cap off the day with afternoon tea and the iconic duck march at this opulent 150-year-old hotel. With guests like Jimmy Carter, Michael Jordan, Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley in attendance, the Peabody’s grand atmosphere is as unforgettable as its tradition.
From street food flair to royal hospitality, Memphis proves that every bite tells a story.
