Eight Tennessee Meat-And-Three Cafes Where Lunch Has Looked The Same For Fifty Years

Taste Generations Of Italian Tradition At These 12 Memphis, Tennessee Restaurants

In Memphis, one of the city’s longest-running Italian kitchens puts barbecue on pizza. Yes, smoky Memphis barbecue, sitting right on top of melted cheese. I love that detail because it shows how Italian cooking made itself at home in Tennessee and picked up a Southern accent. One spot here has been feeding the city for more than 80 years. Another brings the know-how of four generations to the table.

Congregation Coffee to open a Collierville location | Exclusive

When Kenneth Schweighofer opened Congregation Coffee in Germantown in late December 2023, he wanted to create a space where people could gather and talk as they enjoyed a cup of coffee. More than two years later Schweighofer — who owns the Congregation retail center on Forest Hill Irene Road, which Congregation Coffee anchors — believes he has accomplished that. Now, he aims to bring that same atmosphere to a second location in Collierville. Schweighofer told The Commercial Appeal on Oct. 30 that Congregation Coffee is expected to open in a 2,000-square-feet retail space in Collierville’s Water Tower District at Schilling Farms mixed-use development in December. He said the plan is to open the second location before Christmas, but didn’t provide a firm date. COLLIERVILLE DEVELOPMENT: Thompson Machinery moves headquarters from Whitehaven to Collierville According to Schweighofer, Congregation Coffee will be located in the building behind the Playa Bowls and will offer a variety of specialty coffee drinks, teas, pastries and local bakery items. “We’re trying to create a space, and we’re expanding to a second location to prove that the community really just wants a place to go and be a community,” Schweighofer said. “So, that’s why we’re keeping the

Bordello, bathhouse, Elvis lore. Memphis hotel has stories to tell

There is something fitting about a bar called The Dame opening its doors inside a building that has spent more than a century collecting stories. At 69 E. Pontotoc Ave., just off South Main Street in Downtown Memphis, the Hotel Pontotoc has never been an ordinary address. Built in 1906, the historic building has passed through a colorful succession of identities, including a bordello, a Turkish bathhouse and a nightclub. It also carries a particularly intriguing piece of Memphis lore: the rumor that Elvis Presley lost his virginity there in 1953. Naturally, this is the first question we asked the hotel and bar owner Joey Lewis. “That’s what I hear,” he said, with a laugh. “Dan Rather even reported on it once. You can find it on YouTube." DOWNTOWN MEMPHIS: State of Downtown talk highlights growth, upcoming projects in Memphis A building with a colorful past For the 42 years leading up to Lewis' plans for the property, the building had served as a private residence, with a family living there for decades. It was during this period, a few years back, that Lewis began imagining what the old building could become: his own boutique hotel and bar. First, there
