I live in the south and can get the craziest portion sizes of like any type of food for $12. This seems like a NYC/LA problem

    Where in the south? I live in the south and nothing at a decent restaurant including the kids meals cost less than $15.00. The last meal I ate out I paid for four adults and it was $85.00 bucks without any tip. So I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.

    I've been there so yeah the foods okay but I've worked at the Allen Fossil Plant and stayed on Elvis Presley Blvd. So my perspective of a great city is different from yours.

    Edit: On a related note on my memories of Memphis. I've only witnessed one murder. Its was on a side street just a few blocks from Graceland in the late 90's.

    The food has changed a whole lot since the 90s. Idk what happened but the incredible/cheap hole-in-the-wall restaurant game has gone up tremendously. If you ever come back, lmk what you like and I'll tell you some spots! But don't come in the summer it's too muggy
