Loveless Café: A landmark in the South for nearly 50 years. They serve up the excellent country ham and red eye gravy, real Southern-fried chicken and heavenly scratch biscuits with homemade preserves (cooked in their kitchen). Martha Stewart has proclaimed the cafe’s breakfast the best she's ever had.

Fried peanut butter and banana sandwich: An Elvis favorite. Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread, mashed banana on the other. Slap ’em together and fry in a pan like you would a grilled cheese sandwich.

Charlie Vergoo’s Rendevous: This holy place of pork is what Memphis is all about. You can’t go wrong with either the slab of dry ribs or pork shoulder sandwich. Both are paired with mustard-based slaw like no other.
