Southern-influenced Italian dishes & creative cocktails from award-winning chefs
"In Brookhaven Circle I enjoyed a stylish Italian‑American spot that has been rooted in its neighborhood for more than a decade, with light flooding a lively dining room and a bustling bar. The wood-burning oven churns out charred, puffy pizzas topped in creative combinations — from pepperoni with honey to pork belly with eggs — while the kitchen's knack for bold mashups shows up in items like oysters roasted with Calabrian chili oil or a poutine buried in pork neck bone gravy." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In Memphis, Hog & Hominy is identified as an Italian‑American restaurant included on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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."

"A Memphis restaurant where the chef blends Southern roots with Italian influences to create inventive dishes such as ’nduja cornbread with sorghum butter, and where ambitions include building a farm and educational programs around permaculture." - Eater Staff
