Memphis, Tennessee (Episode #18)
Memphis is not only the home of the Blues
and the birth place of Rock and Roll, it's a city where you'll find
the best French restaurant in the South: Chez Philip. The restaurant
is appropriately elegant, set in the grand old Peabody Hotel which
by the way is not only famous for its accommodations, but also its
ducks! Later, Taste of Life will visit the backwoods and lakes of
the state to discover the secrets of smoked catfish at the Pick-Quick
Cat Fish Farm and Restaurant.

Peabody Hotel
Among Memphis' famous landmarks is the historic
Peabody Hotel. For well over a century, the stately elegance
and attention to detail have made the Peabody Memphis one
of the finest hotels of the South. Inside you'll find marble
columns and intricate wood and plasterwork. You'll also
find some very interesting and content ducks! To the sounds
of the King of Cotton March, the superstar Peabody Ducks
march down from their penthouse suite to spend the day pampering
themselves in the Romanesque center-piece fountain at the
hotel. A Peabody traditional which has lived on since the
early 1930's and today they have become a world famous symbol
for the hotel.
