In the heart of Midtown, Memphis sits Coffeeville, TN - or Java Cabana Coffee shop. This quaint shop is a quirky one-of-a-kind coffeehouse in Cooper-Young with eccentric and enduring vibes that give all of the bohemian Memphis feels that Midtown is known for. We like to call that #soul ☕️⁠

Back in 1978, Memphis in May brought joy to BBQ en

Back in 1978, Memphis in May brought joy to BBQ enthusiasts by launching the very first Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. The event took place on a vacant lot by the Orpheum Theater and only 20 teams participated. But as the news spread, more pitmasters became interested in taking part. USAToday has now recognized it as the “Most Prestigious Barbecue Contest" - held right here in the City of Soul.⁠
⁠
Today is official judging day! Heading down to the river to find the best BBQ in the world?! Be sure to tag us in your photos using #SoulLivesHere 🐷⁠
