Southern Style Road Trip
If you can’t get out of town for a vacation, you can still enjoy the foods of the South right on the Franklin Square. 55 South, the latest culinary project for Chef Jason McConnell, boasts a menu packed with oysters and the cuisine of Highway 55, from Memphis barbecue to New Orleans gumbo.

Rocking Across the State With three Tennessee locations, Hard Rock Cafe is serving up local music and rock-n-roll memorabilia in Memphis, Nashville and Gatlinburg. Be sure to take a bite out of the Local Legendary burger—the recipe is different in every city, from Memphis’ mashed-potato topped patty to Gatlinburg’s cream cheese-laden Raging Hillbilly burger.
