Josephine Estelle
5 Course Italian Meets Southern Tasting Event
Opened in 2016 and still going strong, this popular osteria in the Ace Hotel is the brainchild of Memphis chefs and lifelong friends Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman, who were Semi-Finalists in the James Beard "Best Chef: Southeast" category in 2019. Executive Chef Trey Williams is carrying the torch and keeping Josephine Estelle on “Best Of” lists like Eater’s “Best Italian in NOLA" 2023 List. Chef Williams grew up on a small beef farm outside of Chattanooga, studied Creative Writing at the University of Tennessee and the University of Wyoming, and worked as the Chef de Cuisine under Ticer and Hudman at Catherine & Mary's in downtown Memphis. At Josephine Estelle, he is turning out inventive pastas like rigatoni with maw maw’s gravy and bucatini with delicata squash and chanterelles, as well as exceptional mains like gulf fish with turnips, mushroom conserva, and sauce piccata, chicken with saffron risotto, red onion caramel, and rosemary, and pork confit belly with root vegetables. It’s all served up in what Eater calls an “Art Deco stunner” of an environment. Sounds like a great night out, so we look forward to seeing you there!
