Always thinking about our next meal, a strong craving for fried food hit us like a ton of bricks… luckily, Memphis has a plethora of AMAZING fried food options….
So we started thinking, what are some of the best, heart-hurting dishes in town?
Here are some of our top/recent faves in no particular order:
SOLE: Oyster Po’ Boy
Pearl’s Oyster House: Fried Pickles
Other dishes sans photos:
- Gus’s: Fried Chicken Strips
- Sekisui: Mushroom Tempura (I’m a sucker for anything fried + Sekisui Tempura Sauce, but the mushrooms are pretty solid)
- South of Beale: Crispy Sushi Rice Cakes served with the Sesame Tuna
- The Arcade: Fried French Toast
Now, we know you’re screaming at your computer and accusing us of leaving off the best options in Memphis. So tell us. We’re hungry, so send over ideas ASAP
And you thought the above ideas were unhealthy…
