Submitted by Karen Bray on Friday, May 17th, 12:04 pm

Another restaurant is opening on Union Avenue in Midtown Memphis. Firehouse Subs will be the latest restaurant to call Midtown home.

Firehouse Subs is planning to be open by mid-July in the same shopping center as FedEx Office and Verizon Wireless. The space is currently being leased by FedEx Office and will undergo renovations to split the current FedEx Office store into two spaces.

Firehouse Subs has a fast casual restaurant concept. This will be the sixth Firehouse Subs to open in the Memphis area. The Union Avenue location will join locations in East Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, on Stage Road in Memphis, and Southaven, Mississippi.

Restaurant Iris celebrates 5th anniversary

There's not enough wall space in Chef Kelly English's restaurant to post all the accolades he and Restaurant Iris have earned since 2008: "Best Restaurant," "Best Chef," "Editor's Choice," "Best Bet Outside Louisiana," etc.

Tuesday, April 2, English and his staff celebrate five years of treating Midtown to one of the best restaurants in the Mid-South.

Restaurant Iris is holding an invitation-only fifth anniversary celebration at the restaurant, 2146 Monroe Ave., Sunday, April 7. "With an expected guest list approaching 500, the soirée will include music, food and drink for foodies and media, both local and national," said Natalie Cunningham of Green Line Marketing, publicist for Restaurant Iris.

I am honored to be invited, but in an ironic twist, I must attend a wedding this weekend in Oxford, MS, where Chef English attended Ole Miss!

The Memphis Daily News is reporting the same owners who have brought us Chiwawa, Yo-Lo, and Bella Cafe in the Pink Palace, now are setting their sights on a coffee lounge downtown.

Taylor Berger is partnering with Daniel Flanagan.

The Daily News reports they have signed lease on Gayoso.

The pair told the paper they wanted a loung place downtown saying their is gap for people looking to go out and have drinks but not interested in the bar seen.

They hope a group could walk in order coffee, tea, a beer or some snacks and sandwiches all in one location.

It's scheduled to be open in May with the name Tamp and Tap Room.

You can read more about where the name came from and what new local breweries will be filling the kegs here.
