Originally featured as The Elegant Farmer, this Memphis American comfort food restaurant on South Highland Street earned its DDD segment through the creative, scratch-made comfort food and the neighborhood restaurant energy that makes a Memphis dining room its community anchor. It appeared in Season 15, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Handcrafted,” which aired October 15, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Memphis kitchen doing quality comfort food from scratch with the personality that earns a neighborhood restaurant its loyal following in a city with one of the deepest food cultures in the American South. The restaurant has since renamed and relocated, currently operating as The Farmer.
