Memphis named 'Best of the World' destination by National Geographic Traveler Magazine | Arts & Culture

Memphis has been named one of the "must see" best of the world destination trips in 2013 by National Geographic Traveler Magazine.

It's on the list of 20 different destinations.

A National Geographic Editor writes:

The nonprofit Project Green Fork has certified dozens of Memphis restaurants as sustainable, linking chefs with farmers and stimulating a vibrant local food community along the way. Running the culinary gamut from down-home Central BBQ to upscale Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, the eateries are held to admirably high standards in sourcing and sustainability.
