MIDTOWN. This trendy and festive restaurant is just as the name implies. Set in an old 1940's beauty shop, the waitresses wear curlers and you can dine in refurbished hair-dryer chairs. But the kitchsy theme isn't what keeps the place packed out. The eclectic and international fare is interesting yet delicious and won't disappoint. From the clay pot Thai mussels to the apple-smoked Cuban style chicken, a meal here is an adventure every time. But all that is just to be expected from the mind behind it all, Karen Blockman Carrier, who created two of Memphis' other most popular restaurants, Automatic Slim's and Cielo.
