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.

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

Dining Feels Like An Adventure At This Immersive Tennessee Restaurant

Vintage hair-dryer chairs are part of the decor at this restaurant. Yes, the big domed kind your grandma once sat under for an hour with rollers in her hair. The booths come wrapped in glass-brick walls. The whole space looks like a retro salon that traded curling irons for skillets. I like how the theme feels playful without turning into a gimmick.
