Rise – Germantown, TN

It’s time for breakfast in the South. What is one of the first things to come to mind? Fresh made biscuits of course. And this is exactly what I found in Germantown, Tennessee (just outside of Memphis) at Rise. There was a line out the door that I could see as soon as I pulled up. I thought it might be from social distancing, but not, the line was truly that long. As I was waiting in line, I looked over their menu to determine what I was going to order.

Red Hook Cajun Seafood – Memphis, TN

I was lucky to get to visit Memphis recently. It had been years since I had visited. So much had changed, so much growth. There were many new restaurants I was having a difficult time choosing one to try. After looking over the different cuisine offerings, I set my eyes on Red Hook Cajun Seafood.

I started off with a half dozen of their chargrilled…
