"David and Amanda Krog opened Dory in the shadow of Malco Paradiso Cinema Grill in East Memphis in early 2021. Due to pandemic restrictions, they initially offered a multicourse tasting menu, but their original intention was to introduce a full, a la carte menu. In 2023, the husband-and-wife team finally made the transition, swapping out the tasting menu of small plates for a variety of entrees like pork loin with smoked white bean puree, scallops and mussels with herb risotto, and black oyster mushrooms with masa, cheese, and fermented onion powder." - Andy Meek
