Main Course: Eating Through Downtown Memphis

Christopher Blank

Commercial Appeal food writer Jennifer Biggs talks with WKNO about her latest dining excursion: the restaurants of Main Street.

Jennifer Biggs has dined her way down Germantown Parkway, Summer Avenue and Madison Avenue. In her fourth installment of the Eat the Street series, she followed the trolley tracks. Bookended by the iconic E&H soul burger on the south and world-renowned soul food at Alcenia's on the north, Main Street is the home of some of Memphis' oldest and best restaurants.

Reporting from the gates of Graceland to the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, Christopher has covered Memphis news, arts, culture and politics for more than 20 years in print and on the radio. He is currently WKNO's News Director and Senior Producer at the University of Memphis' Institute for Public Service Reporting.
