The Essential Food You Need for a Perfect Memphis Christmas Dinner
From BBQ to turkey and ham, it all goes in Memphis for Christmas dinner. Some families don’t like the idea of essentially repeating the Thanksgiving meal, so they might switch it up and cook different global foods for Christmas dinner, such as Mexican or Chinese food. On the other hand, you can’t go wrong with a potluck Christmas dinner served buffet style in the south! Whichever way your family decides to celebrate Christmas, Cash Saver has a bounty of food at the lowest prices.
If you don’t have time to cook, Cash Saver also has one of the most popular delis in Memphis. On Thursdays, there are lines that reach near the back of the store for the fried chicken special. Sorry, we can’t share the recipe, but we can try to make extra if you want to take the chicken to your family’s Christmas dinner. You should probably call ahead, though!
If you would like to keep things traditional but you still aren’t sure what to cook for Christmas dinner, we have prepared a list of the most popular southern comfort foods and beverages your family is sure to devour.
