On this week's Sound Bites, Jennifer Biggs and Chris Herrington talk about the return of official dining reviews to The Daily Memphis.

On Sound Bites, Jennifer and Chris gab about the food news and features of the last week, including Karen Carrier's influence on the restaurant scene over the years.

On this week's Sound Bites, Jennifer and Chris talk about the first leg of their Summer Avenue tour, from East Parkway to Highland.

Chris and Jennifer talk about food they've recently eaten and the talk turns to the creative street food dishes that they both like so much.

It's like an underfunded 'Seinfeld' on a podcast: We'll call this one the pod about nothing with Eric and Jennifer.

Memorial Day is the de facto start of summer, so it's time to talk summer foods on this week's Sound Bites.

Jennifer Biggs and Chris Herrington talk it over: Memphis in May is headed back to Tom Lee Park, but some people like Liberty Park better.

We believe recipes are meant to be shared, and so do some generous local chefs and loyal readers.

There's a new fish restaurant in town, and it comes with a river view. In Crosstown, the new place is all about pinball machines.

Maybe you miss a Chicago style hot dog, maybe a Chicago deep dish pizza, maybe you want restaurants to stay open later or want a local diner. What do you think the Memphis restaurant scene needs?

Meal kits can be a time saver, but having them on hand doesn't always mean you're going to be motivated to cook; we dive into the mail bag.

Jennifer Biggs and Chris Herrington talk over Chris's first Folk's Folly experience, and talk about Chipotle opening on Summer Avenue.

Whether it's a sit-down meal or a bucket to-go, there's something about fried chicken that satisfies the Southern in all of us.

National Pizza Day is Feb. 9, so we discuss the best pizzas in Memphis and while our lists match up a little, they also differ.

This week Chris and Jennifer talk a little about recent meals then open for the mail bag. Iris is coming soon, Joes' is not a lost cause by any stretch, and the P.O. Press carrots--mmm.

Fried chicken or barbecue? Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes? And why didn't we even mention squash or coleslaw? Chris and Jennifer talk Southern food on Sound Bites.
