But the days lately are growing more distinct, more bright, less sludgy. Thank god for vaccines, for the researchers who developed them, for everyone who has worked to get them into our arms. By the time you read this, even middle schoolers will be eligible for shots. By the end of the summer, our kitchen tables will be lonely, left to fend for themselves. In the hazier times, a few clarion voices rang through. Locally, Dr. Stephen Threlkeld’s was one such clear, steady force. An infectious disease specialist and a third-generation Memphis doctor, Threlkeld has been on the front lines of the pandemic since early last year — in the medical response, of course, but also in communicating pertinent information to the Memphis community. He is also one of the Top Doctors listed in this issue. His assessments have been central in providing guidance locally to individuals, businesses, and schools. As medical director for infectious disease at Baptist Memorial Health Care and managing member of the Threlkeld Infectious Disease clinic, he’s undoubtedly an expert in the field. It’s his common-sense advice and comprehensible distillations of complex information, though, that have been most valuable for many Memphians wondering just what’s going on. Turns out he’s a bit of a comedian, too. When I called Threlkeld to ask him whether he would approve our using a photo of him on the cover of this month’s magazine, he said, “Sure, that’s fine. But you must not care much about your circulation!” Call me crazy, but my instinct says featuring a respected local physician on the cover of our Top Doctors issue ought to inspire more folks to pick up this issue. (And yes, I do care about our circulation.) Dr. Threlkeld went on to tell me that he loves our city, and is glad to serve it however he can. If that means appearing on the

cover of our city magazine as an avatar for local medical heroes, then so he shall — with the understanding that he is only one of many working tirelessly to get the rest of us through this mess. “You must not care much about your circulation”: It was a funny, self-effacing retort, yep, but also a bigger statement about the priorities of healthcare workers. Their calling, which guides their work every day, is bigger than themselves. The same could be said of those who serve in plenty of other ways, including professions that don’t traditionally get a lot of ink in magazines: grocery store cashiers, delivery drivers, gas-station attendants, sanitation workers, to name only a few. These folks never had the option of working from their kitchen tables. You can’t change someone’s tire or bag their groceries over Zoom. I remember early in the pandemic, wondering about the extent of the impending societal disruptions: Would toilet-paper and Clorox shortages be harbingers of more dramatic come-aparts in our infrastructure? What would happen if we all stayed home? But of course, that was never going to happen. The people whose work couldn’t pivot? They simply kept going. All the talk about the 2020/2021 time warp — that’s a function of privilege. Even as things continue getting back to “normal” (whatever that is, was, or will be), let’s remember that this difficult chapter has been anything but equally difficult for us all. This issue is our combined June/July magazine. You’ll next see a print magazine from us in August, when we’ll release our annual City Guide. Stay tuned for that, and in the meantime, please visit us online at memphismagazine.com, where every story is free to enjoy. And tell a friend to subscribe: Let’s prove to Dr. Threlkeld that putting him on the cover was, in fact, good for circulation.

early halfway through 2021, I still catch myself thinking about how long “this year” has been — meaning 2020. The traditional temporal signposts have been absent for too long. The fall and winter holidays lacked their usual luster for many of us, and the new year began without much of a bang. For those working or attending school from kitchen tables, the weeks and months tend to melt into one undifferentiated sludge.

Southern Sounds

Rob Bowman’s The Last Soul Company celebrates the story of Mississippi’s Malaco Records. BY JESSE DAVIS

Sam & Dave to the mix. “Eventually I figured out they’re all from this one company in Memphis, Tennessee.” Cut to Memphis in 1983. Bowman had moved to the Bluff City and enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Memphis State. Among the music the voracious listener considered as the subject of his dissertation were the Memphis jug band phenomenon of the 1920s, the postwar gospel quartet tradition, the blues of B.B. King and Bobby Bland, and Hi Records. It was eight years after the closure of Stax Records, and a conversation with a Memphian clued Bowman into what he saw as a total travesty: There were people in Memphis who didn’t know about Stax Records. “Somebody needs to correct this historical injustice,” Bowman remembers thinking, and his area of study was set.

MALACO RECORDS: LET THE MUSIC PLAY

anadian music aficionado and Gr ammynominated writer Rob Bowman is best known for a little book called Soulsville, U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records. But Bowman has kept busy since the publication of Soulsville, U.S.A., and this year he released the definitive book on another Southern soul (and blues and gospel) label, Malaco Records, titled The Last Soul Company: The Malaco Records Story.

THAT’S HOW I GOT TO MEMPHIS

Rob Bowman

decided to do my Ph.D. in Memphis because I wanted to live in the space where so much of the music I loved was created,” Bowman tells me. When he says “the music I loved,” Bowman’s not speaking lightly. His love affair with Memphis music stretches back to some of his earliest memories — like when he bought his first Rolling Stones record and, quite by accident, discovered Otis Redding. “I need to go buy a record by that Otis Redding guy,” Bowman remembers thinking after hearing the Stones’ version of Redding’s “That’s How Strong My Love Is.” The record store didn’t have that track, but Bowman bought a copy of “Try a Little Tenderness,” and the rest, as they say, is history. “It changed my world. It was astonishing,” he remembers. Before long, the young Canadian began buying Otis Redding records, and soon enough added some

n 1998, the Jackson, Mississippi-based label Malaco Records hired Bowman to produce the liner notes for a six-disc box set. Some time later, those notes would become the basis for The Last Soul Company: The Malaco Records Story, Bowman’s giant coffee-table book. “They’re one of the longest running independent labels in American music history. Longer than Atlantic, longer than Chess, longer of course than Stax or Motown,” Bowman says. But how did a little Southern soul label find such staying power? According to The Last Soul Company, the keys to Malaco’s success lay in a series of risky gambles. Malaco Records was founded by Tommy Couch Sr. and Mitchell Malouf in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962. In its early days, Malaco operated as a recording studio licensing songs to bigger distributors — Jean Knight’s “Mr. Big Stuff,” though released by Stax, was a Malaco recording. But a second age began when the studio scooped up the contracts of some older soul singers. “Disco had taken over, funk had taken over, and hiphop was just around the corner,” Bowman says, setting the stage. Meanwhile, soul singers who had reached middle age often found themselves left out of the business. “Malaco became their home,” Bowman says. The studio had these former heartthrobs sing over 12-bar blues song forms, and soon enough they had hits on their hands. There was a strong audience, the 35-and-up crowd, who were interested. “Malaco owned that culture, owned that subgenre of soul music,” Bowman says, “and then Malaco got involved with gospel quartets in 1975 when they signed the Jackson Southernaires.”

MALACO RECORDS: LIVING TESTIMONY

“Soul singers who had reached middle age often found themselves left out of the business. Malaco became their home.” — Rob Bowman

many of the quartets they acquired in the sale. Nashboro Records out of Nashville, Tennessee, went out of business when founder Ernie Lafayette Young died in 1977. “Two of the biggest labels specializing in Black gospel quartets are out of business, and the gospel world changed,” Bowman says. “Quartets were anachronisms, just like those soul singers who couldn’t find a label.” The folks at Malaco records sensed an opportunity. They began buying the rights to every quartet they could. Eventually, they had the Jackson Southernaires, The Sensational Nightingales, and the Soulsters, who used to be fronted by Sam Cooke. “It’s a loyal audience,” Bowman says of the fans of gospel quartets. The record sales generated by that move enabled Malaco to make further inroads into other gospel territory. They purchased Muscle Shoals and Savoy Records, among others. “Over time, they not only own the quartet business, they end up buying the choir business with their label purchases,” Bowman says. Malaco also introduced its own mass choir, the Mississippi Mass Choir, whose 1988 release became the best-selling gospel record up to that point. So Malaco dominated the soul blues world, moved on to take over gospel, and then set themselves up to cash in on the streaming and sampling revolutions by digi-

tizing their massive back catalog. Malaco releases have been sampled by Grandmaster Flash, Drake, Kanye West, John Legend, Megan Thee Stallion, and Cardi B. Not only is Malaco a company with a long history, but, it would seem, years of commercial viability ahead of it. “The week the book came out, Malaco had the No. 1 gospel airplay record on Billboard magazine. A record by Byron Cage called ‘I Can’t Give Up,’” Bowman says, summing up the breadth of the label’s relevancy. “Malaco deserves their story to be told.” J U N E / J U L Y 2 0 2 1 • M E M P H I S M A G A Z I N E .

Deviled Eggs at Felicia Suzanne’s Salmon- and caviar-filled eggs have been on the menu since day one, but diners have other devilish options.

Felicia Willett-Schuchardt

he signature deviled eggs at Felicia Suzanne’s restaurant pay homage to owner Felicia Willett-Schuchardt’s grandmother, Lovis Downing, who filled many an egg in her Jonesboro, Arkansas kitchen.

“Being raised in my grandmother’s kitchen, that was always the go-to appetizer,” Willett-Schuchardt says. “It was so easy. It was as just eggs and mayonnaise and what she decided to flavor them with. They were at every Southern table, whether it was a church get-together or a family Sunday

dinner. I think it’s just quintessential Southern.” And, she says, the eggs are “so refreshing, especially on a hot day when they’re ice cold.” Her mother also had a signature appetizer, which she served at Christmas. “She would smoke her salmon and then layer it with egg salad

and green onions and caviar on toast points.” Willett-Schuchardt married the two family appetizers when she opened Felicia Suzanne’s Downtown on the Main Street Mall on March 22, 2002. She smoked the salmon belly meat trimmings from the restaurant’s salmon entree and used it in her deviled eggs, which she garnished with caviar. “The name was just kind of an inspiration,” she says. “Kind of a little tribute to my mom, Suzanne. My middle name is ‘Suzanne.’ That’s why the restaurant is ‘Felicia Suzanne’s.’” The salmon/caviar eggs have been on the menu since day one. Willett-Schuchardt came up with the bacon deviled eggs when she was catering a party and the host’s husband couldn’t eat salmon. “We had leftover bacon from the bacon, lettuce, and tomato salad, so I just diced up the bacon and folded the bacon in instead of the salmon,” she says. “I garnish those with hot sauce and green onions.” She came up with the third deviled egg combination five years later. She folds in fresh lump crabmeat and tops it with pickled sweet-and-spicy jalapeños. “It just adds a little touch. It doesn’t overpower the eggs.” And, Willett-Schuchardt says, “I use homemade mayonnaise and fresh farm eggs from Marmilu Farms. And I use grapeseed oil in my mayonnaise. I love mayonnaise — it’s the condiment of the South.” She has added olives and created other deviled eggs over the years, but, she says, “If I change those up too much I might have an issue with my customers.” The “Egg Trio” came about because people couldn’t decide which deviled egg they wanted.

“An appetizer. Six halves. Still, to this day, six halves. Two of the bacon, two of the salmon, and two of the fresh lump crab from the Gulf.” As for their popularity, she says, “I must say, the deviled eggs pay the rent.” Willett-Schuchardt, who went to culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, South Carolina, worked for eight years for famed chef Emeril Lagasse in New Orleans. “He’s the only chef I ever worked for. I went from college to culinary school to his kitchen in New Orleans. And I left New Orleans to open Felicia Suzanne’s.” She knew she wanted an upscale restaurant. “I’ve got a good quality product and my pricing reflects that,” she says. “Higher food costs because of the type of products I buy. I’m paying $6.50 for a dozen eggs. I only buy crab meat from the Gulf.” Willett-Schuchardt grew up knowing about the legendary fine dining restaurants of Memphis. “My parents came over to Memphis and ate at the Four Flames and Justine’s. By 2002 those iconic restaurants were shut down. I really appreciate the history and longevity of those restaurants. There’s something about longevity in the restaurant business. You’ve definitely got to have a passion for what you do and a level of excellence if you’re going to do it daily.” And, she says, “I know what I want and I know what I like. Memphis is so blessed. We have a lot of great restaurants. If my restaurant isn’t your bag of tea, you can go down the street and hit 12 of us between here and G.E. Patterson.” Felicia Suzanne’s is located at 80 Monroe Avenue (the entrance is on Main Street between Madison and Monroe); 901-523-0877.

Passion for Fashion Memphis-born designer Prep Curry partners with Banana Republic for a floral collection. BY JESSE DAVIS

t all started with a bet. Prep Curry asked his parents for a sewing machine for his 25th birthday. “They all laughed,” he remembers. Curry had pursued other dreams to varying levels of success, and his parents wondered if he would stay dedicated to sewing. That’s when his mother decided to sweeten the pot. If he kept up his work, she would pay for two sewing classes from an instructor at Hancock Fabrics. Curry stuck with it, and now, years later, he has a partnership with Banana Republic. The collection features bold colors and patterns, a splash of spring after what felt like a yearlong winter. The Memphis-born, now California-based, designer says that was his intention — to give people flowers after a year of loss and pain. He says he wants people to feel good about themselves when they put on his designs, and the partnership with Banana Republic has extended his reach. Now anyone can find themselves wearing Curry’s flowers. “I learned a lot about fashion from my mother,” Curry says. “A lot of the sense of color comes from her. She would start looking for our Easter clothes in Septem-

ber. She would make sure that we were so fly, but she always did it on a budget. She made me and my sister think about fashion in a different way.” It inspired a young Curry to be unique, to establish his own style. He would paint his shoes or change his shoestrings out for different colored laces. Eventually, in 11th grade, he got a job at Finish Line selling shoes — and his passion for fashion took another step forward. “I don’t like dressing like anybody else,” Curry says. “I always wanted to just be me. That’s what I want to be said, ‘Be you. Be unique. If you have a talent, if you have an eye, show it.’” His first passions were art and dance, and he spent time dancing in groups while he lived in Memphis. But a leg injury left Curry looking for another way to express himself. So he asked for a sewing machine and moved back in with his parents. “When I wanted to start learning how to sew, I watched YouTube,” he

remembers. He learned the basics in those first sewing classes, but he continued honing his skills, displaying the determination that is a hallmark of Curry’s story. “I moved back to my parents’ house and locked myself in my room, from sunup to sundown,” he says. “They heard that sewing machine all day long.” Before long, Curry’s cousin invited him to move to L.A., admittedly more of a fashion center than the Bluff City. Because he wanted to challenge himself, he agreed. “I want more. I want to see people who push me.” Shortly after moving to the Golden State, Curry found himself flying to Miami to participate in shoe designer Angela Simmons’ design competition. It was another step forward into the world of fashion. “I didn’t win, but I just kept hitting the ground running as soon as I got out here,” he says, “I was determined to make something happen. I didn’t want to come out here and just be here.” Eventually, Curry found himself living in his car, then bouncing around among hotel rooms. “I moved 31 times in five years.” He says that time of his life was all about fashion — being dedicated to it, taking orders

and producing the pieces himself. “There were times I wanted to come home,” he remembers. “Some days I didn’t eat.” His mother told him he was out there for a purpose. She encouraged him to keep working — and told him he wouldn’t have a place to stay if he moved back to Memphis. It was tough love, but Curry says it gave him the confidence to continue. In 2019, Brandice Daniel, founder of the Harlem Fashion Show, invited Curry to go to New York to participate in New York Fashion Week. He was worried about being able to afford the trip, but Daniel urged him to make it happen; do not miss this opportunity. So Curry posted about the trip on social media and got an immediate response. “Put your CashApp out there. Put your PayPal up,” his friends and family told him. Before long, Curry was hiring models to wear his designs and paying for a ticket to New York. “The show was so amazing,” Curry remembers.

next day, he met Mark Breitbard, president and CEO of Banana Republic at the time (he is now president and CEO of Gap Inc.). Curry told Breitbard he thought he could give the company some new flare. Breitbard agreed, and the two began a correspondence. “They ended up f lying me to San Francisco to see their facilities,” Curry remembers. “When I got back to Los Angeles, I got an email that said, ‘Hey, we thought about doing a collaboration with you. What do you think about it?’” Now, when asked how he’s celebrating his successes, Curry says it’s not time to celebrate; it’s time to get to work. He is quick to acknowledge, though, both the support he’s received and his commitment to his own vision. And Curry wants to help support others in turn. His story, he says, is one of perseverance and determination. “Other people I watched motivated me,” Curry says. “Now that I have the opportunity to motivate the world, I’m ready to do it. Because it was hard for me, and I know it could be hard for other people.”

Designer David Quarles IV knows self-care starts at home. BY CHRIS McCOY

Creating a great interior space takes listening and empathy, says designer David Quarles IV. “I think what really elevates a space is making sure that you go with the intention of the client, and not yours, and just really building out based on how they want to feel. How can we create their sense of calm, their sense of happy?” Like any creative endeavor, interior design is always a tightrope walk between the artist’s creativity and the audience’s perception. Quarles says, in his case, the audience has to literally live with what he creates. “Yes, you have your signature, but you have to extract yourself from the design aesthetic, because you’re building out someone else’s home.”

Quarles designs more than interiors. He also paints, sculpts, designs jewelry, and teaches fitness classes. He says his multilevel creativity runs in the family, especially his father, David Quarles III. “I’m the fourth,” he says. “My dad, he is my artistic inspiration, period. My mom would always tell stories of when he used to work in his own father’s butcher shop. He would get butcher paper to draw on, and he would do these huge paintings and drawings and hang them up in the house. I think when I was around 4, they said that I

started drawing.” David Quarles III is also a musician and handy with a hammer. “Every weekend we would do some type of construction, or redoing a house for someone,” says his son. “So that’s where I got the inspiration early on of wanting to either go into architecture or go into design. And my grandmother as well: She would redo her home every season. And so going over to her house, seeing that, and being exposed to it early, that’s how I knew design was going to be my thing. I just needed to find my way to it.”

Quarles graduated from the University of Memphis in 2011, and in a few years had become the merchandise marketing liaison for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. On his lunch hours, he would pop over to a little studio he kept Downtown to work on his jewelry designs. He says he liked working at St. Jude but eventually came to realize that office life was not for him. “I knew that I hadn’t given myself a chance yet,” he says. “I didn’t give my craft a chance.” He left the security of St. Jude and moved his jewelry studio back

Most of the art in the home is by Quarles’ friends in the Memphis art scene. Kira Salley created the portrait on the left, and Frances Berry the abstract painting on the right.

into his home to save money. “I promise you, I was scared when I first left,” he recalls. Quarles helped build out the interiors program at Downtown boutique Stock & Belle, and was selling his jewelry designs at craft fairs and Memphis Modern Market. Meanwhile, he started building a following on Instagram when he expanded his account from being purely fitness-oriented to highlighting his design acumen. He was thankful he had already made that transition when the pandemic upended life for everyone. “The Memphis Modern Market,” he says, “we were doing shows every weekend at places like Loflin Yard and Railgarten. Emily [Dunn], who runs it, had the bright idea to just take it virtual. And so, through our Instagram stories, we would sell what we make.”

As exterior distractions shut down and the world migrated online, Quarles started to see a surge in interest in home design. “My clients were coming to me, saying self-care definitely starts at home,” he says. “The way that your home looks has a lot to do with your feelings, especially when you’re going out into the world. Because everything’s so chaotic right now, you need your own safe space. You need your own sanctuary, to recharge the positivity. So people wanted their house to look good again.” But fear of spreading the virus meant he couldn’t engage with his client’s spaces in the same way as before. So the designer added a new tool to his box: Zoom. The first clients he had in the pandemic era helped him learn a new way of doing business. “I said, ‘Let’s do

this virtually,’” he recalls. Instead of touring the home with the client, “they took their iPad around and said, ‘This is what we want to change, and this is our style.’ We did a full virtual consultation. I’ve redone my entire website to build out virtual design services.”

Quarles says he felt the need to create a comfortable space in his own East Memphis home. For him, good design involves all of the senses. “Two of my favorite artists are Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo,” he says, “because of their way of expressing life, and how involved they were in their artistic expression — how much it was a part of them. I love the surrealism, and I love the use of color. I’m a synesthete. I basically hear color and see sound.

below: Quarles created this inviting exterior space in his little-used side yard. He compares it to an outdoor studio apartment.

“So through music, I get a lot of inspiration for colors,” he continues. “That’s why I ask my clients, what is their favorite song, or what is a song that they imagine themselves listening to in a space, and see how they respond, to hear what kind of mood they want. I’ll use the song as a color palette, and then see if it translates into what they were envisioning for the space.” The interior of the modest home is vibrant and relaxing. The spaces are filled with color from rugs to ceiling, but the rooms never feel busy or overwhelming. Quarles believes a space should reflect the

people who live there, and his own home is no different. “My dad’s side is Creole, Dominican, and Gullah,” he says. “Then my mom is indigenous American, white, and black. Some of her family comes from Mississippi, and some from out West.” The varied color palette he created for his own dwelling “goes back to me asking my grandmother, ‘What color are we?’ Because, of course, being in Memphis and being in the South, it was very different in my family — so many different shades. She said, ‘Well, we’re all of them!’ That stuck with

me and kind of shaped my personality. I know that I appreciate so much from so many people, but for my background, it’s colorful, and I’ve always loved all the colors.” With so many shades competing for attention, Quarles says it’s important to keep the home’s furniture design spare and simple. “I really love the clean lines and the daring design of Mid-Century Modern,” he says. “I like to use it as a jumping-off point. I’ll infuse the worldly vibe with something that might reflect African motifs, or a particular fabric I use. Then I’ll layer it again with color. It’s using a base, kind of like a recipe,

and then putting your personality into it with the different spices, the colors, the textures, and that’s how I like to create my home. I want it to really reflect who I am. But for a good foundation, clean lines is one thing that will unify everything.”

ome people take years to choose a successful career, but not Dr. Alyssa Throckmorton, an oncology surgeon with Memphis Breast Care. “At the age of 3 I started telling people that I wanted to be a doctor,” she says. “In ﬁfth grade I decided to be a brain surgeon, and by high school, I wanted to be the orthopaedic surgeon for the LA Lakers.” Luckily for Memphis, the Los Angeles basketball team wasn’t hiring women physicians, so she shifted her interest to breast surgery. “I always thought anatomy was fascinating,” she says, “and surgery seemed a good way of ﬁxing things.” After earning a degree in psychology from the University of Oklahoma, she graduated from medical school at the University of Texas in Houston. Afterwards came an internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she met her husband, Dr. Thomas Throckmorton, today an orthopaedic surgeon with Campbell Clinic (and also one of this year’s Top Doctors). Dr. Alyssa Throckmorton joined Memphis Breast Care, part of the Baptist Medical Group, in 2009. In her practice, she is teamed with two other surgeons — Dr. Lindi Vanderwalde and Dr. Jennifer Zakhireh. Treatment of breast cancer, she says, “is really a team sport,” and at Baptist “we’re very fortunate because we have access to multiple genetic counselors who specialize in oncology.” Genetic testing and advanced diagnostic techniques are tools that allow cancer surgeons to tailor individualized treatment for patients. In fact, sometimes the personalized approach lets Throckmorton and her colleagues “focus on actually de-escalating the level of

care — to improve the survivorship and general quality of life,” she says, noting that for many patients, the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy treatments can be detrimental. The alternative, she explains, is “substantial improvements in systemic therapy. That’s probably the biggest game-changer in the last 10 or 15 years — the development of specific antibodies that target proteins that cause a type of breast cancer that in the past had a poor outcome.” The Baptist team is also involved in clinical trials that explore the effectiveness of high-grade imaging. “We’ve been able to demonstrate that these pick up more cancers,” she says, “but we haven’t been able to demonstrate that provides a survival advantage. Are we picking up meaningful things, or are we finding tiny things that may not be clinically significant?” Other trials examine groups of patients that Throckmorton says have been neglected in the past. “Minorities in particular have been misrepresented in clinical trials,” she says, “and certainly even more so in oncology trials.” In one of the ongoing studies, for example, “We’re trying to identify why Black women with breast cancer have more nerve problems in their hands than other patients.” Asked what she most enjoys about her work, she answers, “We are structured so that we can take care of the entire spectrum of the community, and I have amazing partners and a staff who help me take care of patients with the kind of excellent, compassionate care that I strive for.” — Michael Finger

REGIONAL ONE HEALTH

n associate professor and interim chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the College of Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Dr. Claudette Shephard is a gynecologist at Regional One Health. Her medical degree is from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in California, and her internship and residency were at SUNY-Health Science Center at Brooklyn/Kings County Hospital Center in New York. Her pediatric and adolescent gynecology fellowship was at UTHSC. Shephard has been in Memphis for 30 years and is continuing her groundbreaking work in pediatric and adolescent gynecology, but is taking on further duties in a new role as associate dean for diversity and inclusion for the college. “This is an area more and more institutions are looking at so we can truly address the needs of our patients and make sure that our trainees, students, residents, and active faculty are respected and appreciated for who they are and what they bring to the table,” she says. Shephard has seen how the pandemic has brought changes to her ﬁeld. “It has tested our resources, which has tested our creativity,” she says. “We never thought that we could get so much accomplished without physically being in the same space, but we’ve adapted to technology. Telemedicine and telehealth have taken off and allowed us to reach patients who otherwise may not have been able to make it to their appointments. It expanded the scope and it has connected the medical community because we can now beneﬁt from the expertise of individuals in another state. We had the technology to do that,

but it wasn’t done on a regular basis.” It is also now possible to reach patients in more useful ways. “If we have a pregnant woman at home with children or concerned about leaving because of the pandemic, she can still make her OB visits,” Shephard says. “We can still check on the moms to make sure they’re doing well. We can provide prenatal education classes virtually.” And patients don’t have to take time off for follow-ups. “Now I can do a telehealth visit, check up on my patients, and not have to disrupt what’s going on in their household,” she says. “And patient compliance, I think, is increased when we make provisions for that. You’re really getting better results from all of this.” Better outcomes are boosted by the new ways of doing things. Blood pressure monitors, for example, are now in more homes so the patient can take a reading. “No matter what we do in terms of trying to provide education, to provide resources, we still have patients who have great needs,” Shephard says, pointing out that sexual abuse has been exacerbated by the pandemic. “Children were at home in the early phases of the pandemic, often in a setting that continued to expose them to their abusers, and without the outlets of school to share with a counselor.” With the pandemic showing where these pockets of crimes are happening, she says there is a continuing need to make sure that reproductive healthcare needs of adolescents “are addressed in terms of education, contraception, empowering them to be more responsible, and take a role in understanding how it affects them long-term.” — Jon W.

e have written about Dr. Jerry Heston once before, nine years ago (July 2012). In other words, we proﬁled him eight years before a pandemic changed the professional landscape for a child psychiatrist. “Looking back 16 months,” notes Heston, “we were doing no telehealth. [The transition] had its own trials and tribulations, both for patients and providers. The technology … thank god for it, but it was very frustrating.” [Doctors and patients don’t meet via Zoom. They use connective portals that are heavily restricted and monitored for HIPAA regulations.] “In May of last year, we were thinking this might be just a couple of months. Obviously, that wasn’t true.” A graduate of Rhodes College, Heston found himself drawn to child psychology during his pediatric residency (in the early Eighties) at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. “I was somewhat frustrated by the emphasis on just the biomedical aspect of disease and care,” he says. “We had kids who would come to the hospital with a ﬂare-up of asthma or a complication of diabetes. And the kids would come back two weeks later. I thought we should spend more time thinking about what happens when they’re out of the hospital. What were the emotional, social, psychological issues that played into their illness?” Heston has seen emotional and psychological issues take new form during the lengthy isolation period caused by the coronavirus. Anxiety, depression, and loneliness have long been challenges for young people. Under pandemic conditions, though, there’s an entirely new extenuating circumstance. “For some kids who struggle with ADHD or social awkwardness, the [social distancing] has actually been helpful,” says Heston. “At least in the

short term. Same for kids who have problems with bullying and peer conflicts. Some kids are drawn to electronics. “The flip side is kids who are really social, kids who need face-to-face contact to do well. There are kids whose batteries are charged by other kids. For children with organizational problems, doing things online has been really stressful.” While the pandemic has dragged — and dragged — longer than anyone would prefer, Heston sees an even bigger picture in measuring its impact on young people, especially adolescents. “My real concern is what happens after this,” he says. “We’ve been in crisis mode, high priorities on safety. The effect of this trauma, loss, frustration … the ripple effect of that may last for a while. I don’t even know what the ‘new normal’ looks like. Our society was polarized to begin with, but the pandemic has added a layer.” Heston emphasizes that it’s healthy to limit a child’s exposure to news these days. Feed curiosity, but help contain the sources of anxiety and worry. How might children — and their parents — navigate what remains of the pandemic, and whatever awaits us on the other side? “Routine and predictability are really important,” says Heston. “Family rituals can be really protective for a wide variety of problems. Continue those routines, even if they must be modified.” Pandemic or otherwise, Heston relishes the impact child psychiatry is making on the world. “The field has grown so much in the time I’ve been practicing,” he says. “There are many medications and psychotherapy techniques that have proven to be effective. That will continue, because there’s more of an awareness for the need. I’m really hopeful for the field.” — Frank Murtaugh

NUBODY CONCEPTS Mark Peters, M.D. DR. PETERS IS a board-certified plastic surgeon and medical director of the NuBody Concepts Cosmetic Surgery Center of Excellence in Germantown, TN. He performs a full range of body and facial cosmetic surgery, including breast augmentations, tummy tucks, liposuction, and traditional facelifts. In addition, Dr. Peters has extensive experience with the most advanced skin-tightening technology providing customized alternatives to surgeries requiring longer downtime and longer scars. Dr. Peters was one of the first plastic surgeons to utilize BodyTite and FaceTite technology in the Mid-South. This minimally-invasive procedure uses radio-frequency energy to tighten tissues and liquify the fat for removal. It provides an alternative to more invasive procedures such as tummy tucks or facelifts. Dr. Peters has also used the technology to improve the appearance of cellulite caused by agerelated tissue laxity. Dr. Peters graduated from Vanderbilt University (biomedical engineering) and received his medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport, Louisiana. He has been performing plastic surgery procedures for almost 25 years.

DR. KISHORE ARCOT has seven board certifications including interventional cardiology, cardiology, venous/ lymphatic disease, vascular, and endovascular medicine. He received his cardiovascular training at the University of California-San Francisco and has trained several practicing cardiologists in peripheral vascular percutaneous intervention. Dr. Arcot was voted Most Compassionate and Most favorite Doctor 2010-2021 on Vitals.com. Memphis Cardiology and Vein Center was voted among the “best clinics” in the Commercial Appeal in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Dr. Arcot treats all types of vascular problems, from the simple to the very complex, including varicose veins, DVT, peripheral arterial disease, leg ulcers, May-Thurners syndrome, and pelvic congestion syndrome. Dr. Arcot and his highly qualified, board certified medical team offer comprehensive treatment for all vascular conditions including venous and arterial diseases. Varicose veins are abnormal veins that occur in the legs. They can present as thin, purple lines (called spider veins) or they can appear as thick, bulging, or knotty veins. SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS: •Achy, tired, heavy feeling in the area of the varicose veins • Leg cramps, restless legs at night • Itching, rashes, bleeding

• Discoloration of the foot • Burning or throbbing pain along with swelling of the legs • Non-healing ulcers • History of blood clots • Pain with menstruation While most people think that varicose veins are simply a cosmetic issue, an underlying medical problem often causes varicose veins; it’s called venous reflux/ venous insufficiency venous obstruction. In a normal vein, valves work to move the blood back to the heart. When a valve malfunctions it causes the blood to pool in the vein, a disorder known as venous insufficiency/ venous reflux, which causes varicose veins. The procedure is covered by most insurance companies. Memphis Vein Center is an outpatient state-of-the-art, nationally accredited vascular facility (IAC) to offer all modalities to diagnose and treat varicose veins, including endovenous laser ablation treatment (EVLT), radio frequency, Varithena, Venaseal, Clarivein, as well as ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, and a microsurgical procedure called phlebectomy. Please visit memphisvein.com for further information about varicose veins including personal testimonials, before-and-after pictures and to schedule a consultation.

Memphis Vascular was the first practice in the region to offer a comprehensive interventional oncology program, including performing the first Y-90 treatments. Minimally invasive therapy such as chemoembolization and thermal tumor ablation provide treatment for patients with limited options suffering from cancer.

group of Italian designers from the 1980s who favored vibrant colors and geometric shapes. “I needed a full-sized rug, because, of course, rugs are used to frame the space that you’re trying to create,” says Quarles. “I loved those conversation pits from the sixties and seventies. My whole house has been redone, basically during the pandemic last year. I wanted to create a space for when my friends do come over that was reminiscent of those conversation pits.” Of course, actually tearing out the floor and creating a sunken space would be wildly impractical, so Quarles chose an austere sectional couch which wraps around two walls of the room to stimulate social interaction. Quarles, a frequent entertainer before the pandemic, used his time at home as an opportunity to redo his troublesome outdoor space. Before, he says, it was a morass of mud and moss. Now, it features distinctive social spaces united by an easy flow. “I wanted to create the ultimate outdoor apartment,” he says. “And that’s how I figured out the layout of this space.” Underneath a wide shade tree, a deck, which Quarles built with his father, provides another version of a conversation pit, with simple, rattan furniture surrounding a pair of circular cocktail tables. They filled in the formerly muddy space with rocks, and added a long table with six chairs for outdoor dining. In one corner is a bar, and in the facing corner, an egg chair hangs in dappled sunlight. “I just wanted to create my own oasis,” Quarles says. “I love having outside space, and I spend so much time outside. So that’s why I created this reading nook — except it should be called the ‘napping nook’, because every time I get out there with a book, that chair is so comfortable.”

B ack inside, the dining room is the designer’s

favorite space in the house. “I definitely wanted this to be a vibrant conversation of warm and cool colors,” he says. “I think a lot of people say the kitchen is the heart of the home, but for me, it’s the dining room. That’s where you converse with friends. It’s where you break bread. It’s where you tell stories, whether they’re good or bad. And there’s usually a lot of laughter when food is involved. That’s why I put so much thought and intention into creating this space, because I want it to feel like that. Even if it’s new friends you’re welcoming, you’re going to have something to talk about in this room.” One wall of the dining room has a lot of stories to tell. It’s dominated by a painting that, unlike most of the art in the house, is not by a Memphis artist. “It’s from the Dominican Republic. I was trying to get a little bit more into my Caribbean roots,” he says. “I don’t know the artist, because

David Quarles IV sits in his home gym, which he created by enclosing an unused car port. I bought it on the beach. Then, I almost lost it in the Atlanta airport! Someone came running after me and said, ‘Hey! You left that big old painting!’” Behind the art is a hand-painted mural wall that resembles a jungle print. Quarles was going to cover the area with wallpaper, but he didn’t have enough to cover the whole space. So he took leftover Behr paint samples and started trying to create something memorable. Then, his father was unexpectedly hospitalized. “He’s a picture of health, so I didn’t know what was going on,” he says. “I went to the hospital to stay with him for a while. The doctors had a clear handle on it, but I didn’t have a handle on it, because it was such a shock to me. So I asked question after question after question to that poor medical staff. I still feel indebted to them! Eventually, they told me it was time to go home.” To distract himself from worry, he put on some music and finished painting the wall. “It helped to have a clear plan,” he says. “And that’s just life in general. I always say that you have so many life lessons in home improvement. If you have a clear plan, no matter what happens, you can always get back to bringing it to fruition.” Thankfully, his father is doing well now. Befitting someone who works in so many different creative media, inspiration is always at hand. From the prisms set up to refract the rays of the setting sun into room-filling rainbows, to the colored pencils and pad next to his bed so he can jot down design ideas that come in dreams, this is the home of a true artist. He lives by the most important bit of advice he gives his clients: Make it your own. “In the design industry, the trend now is filling your home with the things that you love, not with what a designer necessarily tells you that you should put in your home,” he says. “That’s why it’s so important to me, when creating for clients, to ask, ‘What do you like? We’ll find a way to incorporate it, and if we can’t, then we’ll find something like it, so the aesthetic is still pleasing to the desire that you had in the first place. It should speak to your personality.’”

ELIZABETH KING

Carrying the torch of sacred soul music.

by alex greene

PHOTOGRAPH BY MATT WHITE

orking as an award-winning gospel singer for decades is only one of Elizabeth King’s notable achievements. Overcoming a car accident that left doctors predicting she’d never walk again, long before she was a recording artist, is another. And raising 15 children — she recently held an Easter celebration with 42 of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in attendance — may top them all. When the phone rang a couple of years ago, the initial public acclaim for her gospel work was many years behind her. Assuming that the heyday of her singing career was long gone, and knowing that the man on the phone, Juan D. Shipp, who had recorded her in the 1970s for his now-defunct D-Vine Spirituals gospel label, had a lively sense of humor, she barely batted an eye when he made a ridiculous proposition. “He said, ‘Well, I’ve got somebody who wants to record you,’” King recalls. “I said, ‘Who?’ He said, ‘I don’t know, but I’ll call you back tomorrow.’ I laughed and said, ‘You need to quit playing!’

Because you know, Reverend Shipp likes to play a lot. ‘Nobody wants me to sing after all these years. Quit playing!’ I told him.” “Uh, yeah,” recalls Shipp, admitting his natural good humor. “I do try to stay on an upbeat all the time.” But this was no joke. Shipp had recently begun partnering with local producer and label owner Bruce Watson, best known for the Fat Possum and Big Legal Mess record labels. They were working to preserve and re-release tracks from Shipp’s D-Vine Spirituals catalog via Watson’s latest venture, Bible & Tire Recording Co., devoted entirely to old-school gospel,

both contemporary and archival. Unbeknownst to King, now 77, the two had been going through Shipp’s master tapes, now nearly half a century old. “After I had met Bruce and we had worked together for about six months, transposing tapes to the computer,” Shipp recalls, “we got to talking and he said, ‘Are any of these people still living?’ I said, ‘Sure. Quite a few of them are still alive.’ He said, ‘Are any of them singing?’ And I said, ‘I know two of them are. Elizabeth is still singing and Pastor Jack Ward is still singing.’ “He said, ‘Do you think they want to record again?’ I said,

‘No doubt about it.’ You see, we always tried to leave our artists on a good note, but Liz didn’t go anywhere after I stopped recording. She just turned down all offers that came her way. And when I called her and said, ‘Hey, girl, you want to go back in the studio and record again?’ she thought I was playing. I said, ‘No, I am actually serious! Do you want to go back in the studio and record again?’ She said, ‘Yes.’”

She was a single mother, raising those four children and driving a local florist’s delivery truck for a local florist, that the unthinkable happened. “I was doing good. I thought I was doing good, anyway. I was working,” she says. “I was at one of my drop-offs at this funeral home, and this drunk man just came out from one of the side streets. He didn’t even stop. I saw him coming. I tried to stop. But there wasn’t any way I could stop because I was on a main street. It ripped my forehead open and it broke my legs.” That was a defining moment of her life, as much for the way she dealt with the aftermath as for the accident itself. “I stayed in the hospital 17 days,” King says. “And I remember asking the nurses about this priest, a man dressed in priestly clothes, who’d come in every morning and he would just sit in my chair. ‘Can I pray with you today?’ He was dressed in black and I could see his long white hair, but not his face. And they said, ‘We don’t have any priest on our staff like that.’ Now I know it had to be the spirit of God, letting me know that I was going to be okay.” With that thought bolstering her confidence and hope, King made her recovery with extraordinary willpower. “I got up every day,” she says. “I would walk from my living room to my kitchen door. And my whole body was shaking, but I refused to hold on to anything. And then I went back to the doctor. I was supposed to have three shots in my head. I took the first one, but when I went back the next week and he told me, ‘I got two more shots I’ve got to give you,’ I said, ‘I’m not taking no more shots. I’m not going to take them. And I’m not going to take more pills. I refuse. I’m not going to take that medicine, because it just makes me want to do nothing.’ But I would walk. And what gave me a lot of courage was, I had small children.” Slowly and steadily, she willed her own recovery. By the dawn of the 1970s, she was becoming active again, and her faith was unfaltering. This was when she began singing more than ever. “God is an awesome God,” she testifies. “And I refuse to let anybody change my mind about the power of God.”

round this time, she encountered a ten-man group who called themselves The Gospel Souls. “They were already singing,” King says. “I don’t know how long they had been singing. I think four of the guys went to the same church. But I went to another church. One of the members, I think he was the manager, was at a church where I was singing by myself, and he asked me, ‘Would I be interested in singing with an all-male group?’ Now, I don’t know of another group in Memphis that had a one-female lead singer. I was the only female at the time in Memphis with an all-male background. And I was used to singing with males because I

Mostly every weekend, we were booked somewhere to sing. Including here in Memphis. It was a busy time for us. And all of us had jobs. We had to get back home so we could be back at work, you know.

We went to Nashville. They had things booked already! It was fun to get a chance to travel with them.” And she also began recording, first for the Designer label, owned by a music producer with an unforgettable name. “The first recording I did was in 1970, for Style Wooten,” she says. “And the first song I recorded with the Gospel Souls was with Style Wooten. We did ‘It’s Amazing What God Can Do.’ I did that song in ’71, I believe.” This was when Juan Shipp discovered the group. As he recalls, “I was pastoring a church in South Memphis, and one of the members of the Gospel Souls was the deacon there. I told him about the studio that I’d just gotten in touch with, hoping to make better sounding records, and it was on from there on in. I took them up to see the studio, and Elizabeth King and the Gospel Souls were the first group that I recorded.” That was to be the first release on Shipp’s D-Vine Spirituals label, and it jumpstarted the company. “When that record came out and the other groups heard it,” he says, “Boom! D-Vine just grew from there. And guess what the song was: ‘I Heard the Voice of Jesus.’”

And all the while, the other facets of King’s life had to be tended to. “I was driving for the same florist. I had stayed off work for over a year. Then the doctor said, ‘You did a marvelous healing. You’re ready to go back to your old job.’ And that’s what I did. I worked until I got married again, then my husband didn’t want me to work anymore.” It was 1979 when King married for the second time. William Stewart was pastor at the Greater Gospel Truth Church in Memphis. “He was an amazing man,” she recalls fondly. “He was a little older than I was. But he was a great husband and a joy to be around.” Often appearing as Liz King Stewart, she continued working with the Gospel Souls for a total of 36 years. But by 2010, old age and infirmity had claimed the lives of many in her group, and her husband too. Still, King has stayed at the center of her family’s life, even babysitting her grandchildren full-time for over two decades. And somehow, in spite of doctors’ predictions, she has remained healthy and fit. “It’s just amazing to me,” she marvels. “Anybody who said I’ll never walk again should see me now. Up until this pandemic, I could still outrun all of my children except one of my sons. Because I went to the gym every day before 2019. My husband passed in ’09, and he told me, ‘With the diabetes you have and the arthritis and the pain in your body, go exercise every day!’ And that’s what I’ve done. I was telling my son, I can’t wait until this stuff is over because I need to get back in the gym!”

for this album,” King says. “There were a lot of people there!” And this was when she first began recording new material. “I think Bruce had recorded eight or nine songs, and then COVID came, and I had to stop. The album was supposed to come out in March of 2020. But it’s like it’s coming out at the right time now. Because everybody’s been shut in.” When the new material finally emerged as the album Living In The Last Days, released this April, the world did indeed seem primed to hear it.

ing performance in the recent Folk Alliance International virtual showcase. And she has no plans to stop now, having teamed up with another singing group recently. “In 2019, I started singing with this female group here that had been singing for a long time, The Stars of Faith,” she says. “We were going places, and singing locally. Because everybody in there was older than me. And I’m real old. But I think 2020 was the 62nd year the group had been singing. And two of the original ladies are still living. One passed last year, the lady that was leading them. I sang lead for them too, but I was mostly singing backup.” Taking the long view, even the trials of the quarantine era, coming just as her talent was being recognized again, were not enough to stop Elizabeth King. Through car accidents, motherhood, the vagaries of age, and a global pandemic, King’s faith has carried her through the storm, always singing. “I kept going,” she ref lects. “Because, if you got a voice and you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. I kept going.”

Ernest Hemingway’s Memphis Ties Our history expert solves local mysteries: who, what, when, where, why, and why not. Well, sometimes.

DEAR VANCE: The new Ken Burns documentary on Ernest Hemingway (released earlier this year) mentions that the author’s mother lived in Memphis with her daughter for several years, and his mother actually died here. Where did they live, and why were they here?

— K.B., MEMPHIS.

above: Ernest and Grace Hemingway, 1899

I’m glad I wasn’t the only person watching that program who was surprised by that information — but no one would have told me about the Hemingway family anyway, knowing how I feel about them. Over the years, the Lauderdales and Hemingways had a relationship that even Gertrude Stein described as “tense.” We were jealous of Ernest’s literary honors, of course, especially that Nobel Prize thing, and from what I heard, he threw a tantrum every time friends told him my family had won yet another trophy for bowling, roller-skating, badminton, and oboe. He couldn’t compete with our “macho” ways, and he knew it. I can’t say with absolute certainly that Ernest himself never came to Memphis, but if he did so, he never paid a visit to the Lauderdale Mansion. I don’t need to tell the story of one of the most famous authors in the world — I mean Ernest Hemingway, not me — because you can find that information anywhere and everywhere. But to answer K.B.’s question, a bit of DEAR K.B.:

biography is necessary, so I’ll summarize the key points. Let’s start — as most lives do — with the mother. Grace Earnestine Hall (left) was born in Chicago in 1872, and her father, a wealthy merchant, soon moved the family to the fashionable suburb of Oak Park, Illinois. A prodigy with the piano and violin, as a young woman Grace also became an accomplished singer, making frequent appearances at Madison Square Garden in New York City. She was even invited to join the Metropolitan Opera, but one biographer claims she turned down the role because an illness weakened her eyes and she couldn’t tolerate the stage lighting. Teaching singing and music lessons from the spacious family home, she had so many pupils that she was earning more than $1,000 a month — an astonishing sum in the early 1900s. What’s more, she directed the Oak Park Choral Society, the Oak Park Orchestra, and the choir at her church. In her spare time, she took up painting, and by the end of her life had completed some 600 landscapes. In 1896, she married one of Chicago’s leading physicians, Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, and over the years, they had six children: Marcelline (born in 1898), Ernest (1899), Ursula (1902), Madelaine (1904), Carol (1911), and Leicester (1915). Every member of the family displayed remarkable talents, from music to literature to business, but that didn’t save them from a shadow that seemed to darken their lives. The Ken Burns documentary points out that of the eight members of this family, four would eventually take their own lives. Ernest’s own father did so in 1928, the doctor shooting himself with an antique pistol one afternoon, after coming home from his clinic saying he was tired. In letters to friends, however, Ernest made it brutally clear that he blamed his mother, who had constantly disapproved of his family’s wild ways, accusing her eldest son of being “morally bankrupt,” and, as far as his writing went, “bastardizing a laudable art.” At any rate, after the death of his father, he distanced himself from his mother — another reason it’s unlikely he came to visit her in Memphis. Even so, in the 1920s, he definitely had Mid-South connections. During one of his many trips to Paris, he met — and married — Pauline Pfeiffer. She came from a wealthy family, who owned some 60,000 acres outside the town of Piggott, Arkansas, north of Jonesboro. Whenever she and Ernest visited the Pfeiffer farm, they stayed in the family’s two-story house and eventually transformed the large barn on the property into a spacious writer’s studio. It was here that Ernest wrote several short stories and completed the final chapters of A Farewell to Arms, considered by many to be his finest novel. Ernest and Pauline divorced in 1940, however, and

that brought an end to his Arkansas days. In 1950, another family purchased the property and deeded it, including the barn-studio, to Arkansas State University. Today the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Education Center (hemingway.astate/edu) is open to visitors, fully restored to the way it looked when Ernest and Pauline lived and worked there. But what about the Hemingway-Memphis connection? Look, I’m getting there. In 1938, his younger sister, Madelaine, married Kenneth Mainland, a successful attorney with the American Insurance Company in Chicago. They moved to Memphis in 1942 when he became a “casualty agent” for the Fidelity & Casualty Company of New York, with a branch Downtown in the old First Tennessee Bank Building, at Third and Madison. For a while, the Mainlands lived on the second floor of a red-brick apartment building at 1855 Peabody. In 1946, they moved to a nice house at 1771 Linden (right), a half-block east of Grace-St. Luke’s Church, where Kenneth served as a deacon. Both of their old residences have survived, little changed over the years. I believe the PBS documentary suggests that Grace Hemingway lived in Memphis with Madelaine, Kenneth, and their young son, Ernest Hemingway Mainland, for several years. I’m hardly qualified to argue with Ken Burns, but two things contradict that. On June 15, 1951, at the age of 79 she died of a cerebral hemorrhage after falling ill at the home on Linden. The official death certificate has a box for “Length of Stay in This Place” and the coroner filled in “1 month.” What’s more, the obituaries for Grace that ran in newspapers in Chicago and Oak Park say that she died here at her daughter’s home, “with whom she had been laine was active in the Little Theater, played the harp with the Memphis Symphony, and was a fine painter.” visiting.” Visiting, not living. She was laid to rest in Forest Home Cemetery in Oak Park. She was also an author.

Longshot A new dawn brings a new menu for Longshot.

BY SAMUEL X. CICCI

Chef David Todd

F Soy ginger catﬁsh

Coconut curry cauliﬂower

Tuna poke “nachos”

or those who prefer their cocktails with a side of shuffleboard, fret not: Longshot, the Arrive Memphis hotel’s bar and restaurant, is back after a brief hiatus. Chef David Todd and Co. found themselves in a tricky spot when covid-19 forced the South Main restaurant to close in early 2020, only a few months after its debut. But a fresh start brings fresh opportunities, and diners can expect to see a fully revamped menu when they settle in at one of Longshot’s cognac leather booths.

Todd returned to Longshot after a short furlough with the goal of reopening by January of this year, but a surge in coronavirus cases pushed the date back a few more months. That gave him extra time to fine-tune a reimagined menu. “This is pretty much a complete departure from the opening menu that I started with,” says Todd. “We were doing the sausages, and it was a much more snacky, shared-plate theme for the food. So when they brought me back on, I asked if I could change the menu, and they were very supportive.” Gone is the focus on house-made sausages, replaced by a selection of dishes that Todd has spent eight months curating. And many of the entrees are recipes he’s refined for years, inspired by styles and cuisines around the world. “I kind of meander through all genres of food,” he laughs. “I’ve worked at places like Acre, Green Beetle, Schweinehaus, Interim, bouncing between fine dining and bar food. So there are a lot of influences in what I cook.” And that’s reflected clearly on Longshot’s menu. Diners can zip around the globe at will, sampling anything from a Hawaiian fish dish to Moroccan ribs. Even for those selections that hew closer to home, one can bet that Todd will spice up tradition with a unique flourish. For starters, it’s tough to beat the curry cauliflower, flash-fried (not breaded) with Thai coconut milk, and mixed with cilantro, cashews, and a dash of lime. Seafood buffs, on the other hand, can go with the

tuna poke “nachos,” the fish tossed in a mixture of white soy, regular soy sauce, and sesame oil. “There’s a little bit of togarashi aioli,” says Todd. “Some avocado cream, and I make a quick slaw with cilantro and Napa cabbage tossed in some mirin and a little bit of honey. Then you’ve got pickled red onions in there. You’re bouncing through a lot with this dish, but I like things that, when you’re eating them, different sensations are coming across your palate.” The comforts of home are present in Todd’s catfish, but with a twist. “It’s a very Southern base, but I blow the dish up from there,” he says. “It’s something I’ve been working on for a couple years.” The catfish is cooked in a soy ginger glaze, but served atop charred carrot coconut grits. Todd starts by charring and pureeing the carrots, and then cooks them in coconut milk. “Then while I’m making the grits, I use half the amount of liquid that I normally would,” he says. “The second half of the liquid is the charred carrot and coconut milk that soaks into the grits. So it makes them really rich and creamy.” In its original guise, Longshot featured sausages from around the world. That global focus continues the second time around, but dishes don’t find their way onto the menu just to tick a cosmopolitan box. “We do have a lot of international influence,” explains Todd, “but I like to say that it’s influenced by flavor. Anything I’ve encountered in my career that tastes good, I try to work it in somewhere.” One surprise addition to the menu was the KFC (Korean fried chicken) sandwich, which former Arrive Memphis managing director James Siao cooked for Todd during the restaurant’s hiatus. An openness to new ideas, both in and out of the kitchen, is part of Todd’s ethos when it comes to creating a menu. “You want to stay true to who you are as a chef,” he says, “but it’s important to cover a lot of bases for diners. Say you’ve got a group of friends. Someone’s a vegetarian, someone else only eats spicy food. We want to have enough diversity among our food — even more so with seasonal specials that we’ll start having soon — so that everyone in a group will be happy to come to Longshot.” Longshot is located at the Arrive Memphis hotel at 477 S. Main (entrance on Butler Ave.). 901-896-0228. Open Tuesday-Thursday, 5 p.m.-11 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 5 p.m.-midnight. $-$$. longshotmemphis.com

A Curated Guide to Eating Out

emphis magazine offers this curated restaurant listing as a service to our readers. Broken down alphabetically by neighborhoods, this directory does not list every restaurant in town. It does, however, include the magazine’s “Top 50” choices of must-try restaurants in Memphis, a group that is updated every August. Establishments open less than a year are not eligible for “Top 50” but are noted as “New.” This guide also includes a representative sampling of other Bluff City eating establishments. No fast-food facilities or cafeterias are listed. Restaurants are included regardless of whether they advertise in Memphis magazine; those that operate in multiple locations are listed under the neighborhood of their original location. This guide is updated regularly, but we recommend that you call ahead to check on hours, prices, or other details. Suggestions from readers are welcome; please contact Samuel X. Cicci at scicci@contemporary-media.com

Remembering Lynne Turley

“That town lost something when they lost her. Unsung artist. Unsung genius. Unsung social giant.” — Perry Michael Allen BY SUSAN DYNERMAN

Lynne and Henry

ynne Jordan Turley — born Martha Lynne Jordan — was a true original. Irreverent. Stylish. Fearless. Talented. And smart as the dickens. She was the most independent woman I’ve ever known. Her roots in Selmer, Tennessee, were her making. Parents Tedford and Louise Jordan owned a dry goods store there, and she grew up in a home full of love. “A love that the rest of us try to have,” says Doris Dark, her third cousin. “They cared for all people. As for Lynne, I don’t think she ever met a stranger.” Even as a young girl, she played piano for church services and for their gospel quartet. Says Dark: “They sang gospel songs, expressing love, good will, and praise.” Music became Lynne’s driving force. Her CV is impressive: St. Louis Institute of Music. Degrees from the U of M in music, and curriculum and instruction. More than 20 years with Memphis City

Schools. One of six teachers who developed its groundbreaking Orff Music Program. Orff Music Supervisor. A host on WKNO-TV children’s programs. Producer/ host of the kids’ show Sneakers on Channel 5. With musician Perry Michael Allen, co-host/ co-writer of Pass it On, produced jointly with WKNO. Eight years in New York at McGraw-Hill, then Scholastic. Co-founder of the Lynne and Henry Turley Center at Rhodes College. But it’s nothing compared to the person she was, the life she lived, and the lives she touched. In the ’70s, she was part of Memphis’ tight-knit music scene that included Willie Mitchell, Al Green, and Jim Dickinson. She made lifelong friends in the in-

dustry, among them Jill and Jim Lancaster and Joe Mulherin. Early on, she teamed up with Allen to produce commercials and write scripts. “She was ahead of her time,” he says. “When we first met, she was already into social justice. Talking about what the school board should be like in Black neighborhoods and teaching somewhere in Orange Mound. That’s what amazed me.” Lynne connected and collaborated with people. “I’m a doer, not a talker,” she used to say. In 1977, she met her match in Henry Turley, both in their late thirties. He had embarked on the revitalization of Downtown. “I always refer to Lynne as ‘Lynne Jordan’ as an expression of respect,” he says. “An acknowledgement that she was a complete and accomplished person before she met me.” Two unconventional souls, they were an unconventional couple — together almost 20 years before they married. When she lived in New York, she came home on weekends. When they had people over, it was an eclectic mix from all walks of life. Political, progressive, engaged, Lynne was funny. Gayle Rose tells this story: “We supported Gore. And I remember when GW [Bush] was elected. Henry and Lynne and I were going to watch his State of the Union. Lynne says: ‘I just can’t watch.’ Henry says, ‘I’m struggling too.’ Lynne gets up and comes back with three paper grocery bags and suggests we put them on our heads. Three of us put the sacks on our heads. And she says, ‘It’s not working.’ So we turned the TV off.” The marriage worked just fine. Lynne could have stayed in New York; she loved it up there. Says long-time friend and collabora-

tor Traci Sampson: “She decided to come back because she was so in love with Henry. And with the life Henry had created in Memphis — what he was doing in terms of building community. That was just as important to her and matched how she saw her life here. And she loved Memphis.” “They will forever be one of the greatest love stories I have ever known,” says LaWanda Hill, friend, educator, and a pallbearer at Lynne’s service. “Henry is rough and tough as he can be, and just the thought of her melts him. You can see it in his eyes when he looks at her. It’s like he’s captivated. And you’d look at her and see that it was reciprocated.” Maybe 10 years ago, people started noticing changes in Lynne. Her mother died of Alzheimer’s, so Henry started taking her for check-ups. On days when it was particularly disorienting, she’d say, “It’s my MCI.” Mild Cog nitive Impairment. Just that. She pushed on, always. Plus, there was Henry. And music. “We were at a Hattiloo benefit and ended up going to Bari,” says Sampson. “Sitting at a table, she remembered a song her father used to sing. All of a sudden Lynne burst into song. She was talking about her father. She just sang his song. When she was finished, people burst into applause. She’s beaming. And they’re all, ‘Bravo!’ And then everybody went back to eating dinner.” That was Lynne. She died April 22, 2021, at 79, original to the end. Susan Dynerman began her writing career at Memphis magazine in the late 1970s, around the same time she first met her old friend, Lynne.
