Top Memphis Hop on Hop Off Buses

Taylor really knows her food and the local food scene. A pitmaster and BBQ judge, she shared both interesting information and great stories about everything we ate. This was a walking tour with minimal walking, all on Beale St, so don't worry that you'll be burning off more calories than you consume. For us, the weather turned ugly (i.e. close-up lightning and a tornado watch), which meant the closure of a couple of the restaurants we were scheduled to visit. Taylor pivoted beautifully, arranging for our BBQ chicken wings to be brought from one of the restaurants that had to close and making a quick dessert substitution that actually gave us something tangible (luscious and whimsical fudge) to take home from our trip. We didn't feel we'd missed out on anything. The food itself was fabulous. My husband can't stop talking about Elvis's favorite hamburgers. I had a second chicken wing - and I am not a chicken wing fan - because it was one of the best pieces of chicken of any variety I've had. All of the restaurants we were able to visit had unique charm. Judging from their exteriors and what I've heard about them elsewhere, so did the two we didn't get to visit in person. This tour was a special treat and reminder that the culture of Memphis isn't limited to its indelible music.
