Commercial Appeal food writer Jennifer Biggs talks with WKNO about her latest dining excursion: the restaurants of Main Street.

Jennifer Biggs has dined her way down Germantown Parkway, Summer Avenue and Madison Avenue. In her fourth installment of the Eat the Street series, she followed the trolley tracks. Bookended by the iconic E&H soul burger on the south and world-renowned soul food at Alcenia's on the north, Main Street is the home of some of Memphis' oldest and best restaurants.
