Sitting down to a mouth-watering meal will be a tremendous source of enjoyment on your honeymoon in Tennessee. However, the majority of it will be spent savoring the local passion, which is barbecue. In fact, Memphis alone has an incredible variety of restaurants—over 70 of which are barbecue establishments. There, and in many of the big cities, barbecue and southern delicacies such as fried chicken, pork chops, cornbread and turnip greensare a big draw to the area. That’s not to say that you won’t find many excellent opportunities for romance with your loved one at a sophisticated restaurant.
