Hog & Hominy

"Michael Hudman and Andrew Ticer operate several restaurants around Memphis and across the Southeast, but none of them express the duo’s Italian heritage and Southern sensibility better than Hog & Hominy. The food served up by these award-winning chefs—classic Italian dishes made with Southern ingredients and cooked over a wood-burning fire—includes everything from roasted vegetables, meats, and seafood to margherita pizzas and one with pork belly, spicy honey, and snap peas. At the bar, guests can sip creative cocktails featuring top-shelf spirits and house-made syrups and bitters. Should you have to wait for a table at this popular eatery, pass the time at the on-site bocce court with all the other eager diners."
