Eating not Walking in Memphis

Both Memphis and Nashville have some great restaurants and I have been looking forward to dinner at Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen in Memphis and Husk in Nashville. 

We ate at Andrew Michael on Friday night.  It did not disappoint.  I had pasta stuffed with pistachio and leek in an asparagus pesto sauce. So good! The team that owns Andrew Michael has 2 other restaurants on the same block. Hog & Hominy is known for their pies.  At the end of our meal at Andrew Michael, we asked about having the Hog & Hominy peanut butter pie delivered to our table from across the street. The waiter laughed and said we were not the first people to make that request.  Instead, they called across the street and reserved a table for us.  The pie was totally worth the trek across the street. 

After dinner, we walked along Beale Street and stopped in a few establishments for an adult beverage.  Beale Street is one bar after another and most have live music.  

 

We left for Nashville early on Saturday morning.  We stopped at one more of Memphis's hottest restaurants, Staks Pancake Kitchen, on the way out of town. I had lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes and Butch had cinnamon swirl.
