Welcome to Stella | by Chef Johnny Kirk

We first opened Stella in 2004 on the corner of Main and Monroe in downtown Memphis. We are thrilled to bring Stella back home to Mississippi where the family roots run deep.

When you are born into a Mississippi Delta farming family, “Earth to table” is more than a catch phrase. It’s a way of life. And it’s a good wholesome way of living.

We continue that way of life today with our farm Third Plate Pastures. TPP and other local farming partners allow us to better control the quality of the ingredients that we use here at the restaurant. And great food is all about great ingredients. At Stella, we bring the very best quality ingredients possible together on the plate. We hope you enjoy.
