I was just about to post this. Having just come back last night from eating my way through New Orleans for the past 8 days, it's quite difficult to imagine any city topping it. And that's certainly not to disparage Memphis BBQ, which is the absolute best in my book.
New Orleans is a better overall food scene (I’ve done food trips there more times than I can count and not just Cajun/creole), but if you think Memphis is just “bbq” you need to get out more.
There’s more good food on summer avenue than most cities have in entire areas. There’s a reason Memphis is Alton Brown’s favorite food city.
Agree that we've got much more than BBQ. Visitors come to spend a week and they just rave about the food. I have family that just moved to town, and they can't believe all the different quality choices other than BBQ.
I do need some new Summer Ave recommendations for lunch, now that I'm back in the office. My rotation of Elwoods, Central BBQ, Tops needs 1-2 more options...
Summer is full of hidden gems. It’s the best food street in the city.
Jerusalem cafe next to Charlie’s is great. The taco place that is now in a parking lot on the south facing side of summer (can’t remember the name) is incredible and stays busy. Edit: just remembered it’s Tacos nganas
Lotus is good Vietnamese but be prepared to wait for your food.
