Worth the money & full belly - Enjoyed the history of the restaurant spots and Memphis. Taylor was knowledgeable and entertaining! Some food was better then others but it’s all up to preference so don’t shy away. I recommend doing this the first day so you know what you like to order the remainder of your trip.
