Hey everyone! Do we have any new residents out there? If so, welcome to Madison at Schilling Farms! What about anyone who is new to the Memphis/Collierville area? Well, I think the best introduction to the Memphis/Collierville area would be to hear the music and taste the food. The City Tasting Tour does just that.

Have you ever heard the expression that “the heart of BBQ beats in Memphis?” Well, it’s entirely true and the City Tasting Tour will give you a sampling of why Memphis got it’s name. The tour takes you to neighborhood spots in the heart of the city so you can try southern style dry rubbed ribs, wet ribs, pulled pork, brisket, shrimp, cornbread, baked beans, and coleslaw first hand. Or you can choose the other option.  You’ll head to more southern restaurants to sample crispy fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, beignets, and fried apple turnovers! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

For all of this food, you would think that the price of a ticket would be outrageously expensive right? Not all at. The tours are split in two sections: the  Southern Traditions Tour and the BBQ Cue Hopping Tour. The Southern Traditions tour is $42 plus tax on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 1:30 pm, and the Cue Hopping Tour is $62 on Thursdays at 3 pm. You can get your tickets online.

The prices aren’t bad, right? Besides, being able to taste what makes Memphis, Memphis is priceless. You’ll be so glad you took the tour! And the tour isn’t just for novices of Bluff City; if you need a refresher course on some great restaurants to go to, by all means take the tour yourself!

So, who’s hungry yet?
