Overview
Eat your way from South Main to the neon of Beale Street, with ribs, fried chicken and Memphis history served at every stop.
Starting with a Secret Dish we won't name until it lands on your table inside one of the city's oldest restaurants. Then it's barbecue the way Memphians argue about it: two ribs side by side, one sauced and one dry-rubbed, both smoked over hickory and pecan.
Next comes fried chicken with a national reputation and a slow-building heat, followed by a bowl of okra-thick gumbo as Beale Street opens up ahead of you. Between bites, you'll stand outside the Lorraine Motel, hear how the city survived the yellow fever epidemic, and learn how Beale Street handed the world the blues. This Secret Food Tours route ends with a deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a tribute to Elvis's famous sweet tooth on the street where he first heard the sound that made him.
