Flavors of Memphis
In the Bluff City, we have a flavor that is uniquely Memphis. Maybe it is in our water, maybe it is our grit, or maybe it is our culinary soul stew that has been cooking for some 200 years. Like most good recipes, it takes time. Happy bicentennial, Memphis – the flavors are just right!

Marcella Simien Creole Roots + Memphis Soul
Marcella moved to the Bluff City after high school to attend the Memphis College of Art. “I applied to SCAD in Savannah, a couple schools in New Orleans, and MCA. I got into them all, but I just really liked the vibe of Memphis. When I visited the
college, I just knew this was where I needed to be.
Driving through Overton Park, I felt the energy of the city and it just felt right.”
