Acre

ACRE, a restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee, blends all of the characteristics of modern fine dining with the warmth of sharing a meal with a good friend's home. The imaginative food made by chefs Wally Joe and Andrew Adams, as well as the warm and sophisticated décor, make it a popular hangout for both residents and visitors

Chef Wally Joe's soulful cuisine at Acre in Memphis includes dishes like fried quail salad with pickled strawberries, radish, and buttermilk dressing, as well as duck confit fried rice made using Mississippi Delta red rice. Joe's culinary influences came more from the gardens and lakes of the region than from the country of his birth, but his precise and respectful treatment of his locally sourced ingredients is quite reflective of Asian cooking. Joe was born in Hong Kong but raised deep in the delta in Cleveland, Mississippi. The whole red snapper platter, cooked until crispy and topped with a fiery chile-ponzu sauce, is as eye-catching as it is delectable.
