Hog & Hominy
Memphis, Tennessee
Most people get slightly confused when they hear that Hog & Hominy is a Southern/Italian restaurant. They seem to think that means foods inspired by the southernmost regions of the European country — but in fact, this Brennan-area restaurant actually mixes Italian staples with American South sensibilities. The result is an interesting menu that includes brick oven-cooked pizzas — one sporting boudin and scrambled eggs — farm-fresh vegetables, poutine, sweetbreads, short ribs, and gnocchi — with a fantastic peanut butter pie to finish it off. There's also a tasty cocktail menu, which provides the perfect accompaniment should you decide to throw a game of bocce outside.
