Food & Drink Hungry Memphis

Malia’s

For the past few months, my commute has taken me by Malia’s, a food-truck operation on Lamar between Cleveland and Bellevue. It was hit or miss as far as them being there. But I had time to stop today and am glad I did.

Owner Gregory Graham is a barbecue scion. His grandfather owned Uncle Joe’s, a barbecue place at Third and Vance.

“He had a dynasty back in the day. Way back before my time and yours too,” said Graham, who is also an affiliate broker with Crye-Leike. (This begs the question about house hunting in a truck full of smoked meat. Where else but Memphis is this even a remote possibility?)
