"Award-winning chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman (Andrew Michael, Hog & Hominy) are native Memphians from large Italian families. Catherine and Mary’s — aptly named for the duo’s nonne — is a natural extension of the dishes they grew up with. Tucked into the historic Chisca Hotel, you can watch pasta being made from the floor-to-ceiling windows, or you can venture inside for fried polenta with ramps and Meyer lemon aioli, meatballs made from guanciale and pancetta, lasagna layered with lamb, and rigatoni using “Maw Maw’s gravy,” a staple sauce for the chefs. Ticer and Hudman have also recently opened Bishop’s at the Central Station Hotel, which leans heavily into French cuisine and techniques." - Andy Meek, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
