Highland Sub, By Folks, Castle Restaurant
Every week, I share a few of my favourite dishes at Memphis space eating places.
From a superb submarine to a slice of candy pie to genuine Mediterranean delicacies, listed below are three issues I’ve loved currently.
Highland Tremendous Submarine Retailer
3316 Summer season Road.
First, have lunch on the Highland Tremendous Submarine Store.
The sub sandwiches on the no-frills Summer season Avenue store are a number of the finest on the town. Referred to as the “Chinese language Retailer” as a result of it additionally served Chinese language dishes, this retailer was well-known for its large sandwiches served in 8-inch or 12-inch sizes (therefore the slogan on the signal “The place There is a Little Foot Feast”).
Every sandwich comes topped with shredded iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced tomatoes, onions, mayonnaise, mustard and Italian dressing. Regulars know to ask for the bread “smooth” (frivolously toasted) or “onerous” (toasted till crisp).
Oh, and produce money. It is a money solely institution.
Pie individuals
1028 n. Germantown Parkway, Cordova; (901) 752-5454; thepiefolks.com
Subsequent, a scrumptious dessert from The Pie Of us in Cordova.
The Pie Of us proprietor, Audrey Anderson, has gained quite a few accolades for her scrumptious pies with enjoyable names just like the “Slap You Mama” Chocolate Pie. Her “Ape Wild” Banana Cream Pie is one among my favorites.
And know that you may buy her banana pudding combine at Kroger space areas to make your individual model at residence.
Fortress Restaurant
3992 Park Ave. (901) 320-1020; instagram.com/castle_restaurant
Final on my checklist is a meal on the Fortress Restaurant.
Positioned in Park close to Gatewell, this small, informal restaurant serves genuine Mediterranean delicacies with a giant flavour. For the previous 11 years, Nada Hammoud has served dishes from everywhere in the Mediterranean and her native Lebanon in her small café, which seats solely about 20 company.
Whenever you stroll into this nondescript eating room, you do not essentially really feel such as you’re in a fort. Her café could be very easy and provides quick informal service, Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. Nonetheless, after one chew of her meals, you’re feeling like royalty. Hammoud makes every little thing from scratch, and you’ll inform.
I at all times begin with the vegetarian sampler platter, and often get the gyros or rooster kebabs.
