Eating your way across Memphis

Excellent podcast with deep and honest reviews and up to date dining news about the Memphis restaurant and food scene. Wonderfully produced show, too!

Excellent local food podcast

Sound Bites is an excellent show with fun food talk from Memphis food critic Jennifer Biggs and bon vivant Chris Herrington. The topics are always interesting and the pair have a nice repartee. However, I would recommend avoiding episodes featuring Eric Barnes, who breaks the usual convivial atmosphere with his particularly smug and grating presence.
