Memphis food lovers have something to be excited about. The Grilled Asparagus restaurant, known for its unique and flavorful dishes, is making a comeback. Owner Christopher Beavers has announced that the restaurant will relocate from Midtown to Whitehaven. This revival is made possible through a $25,000 loan from EDGE and underscores our commitment to local entrepreneurship and job creation. Beavers aims to reopen in September, bringing his culinary delights back to the community he cherishes.
The return of The Grilled Asparagus signifies more than just a restaurant reopening; it’s a story of resilience and community support. Beavers, who initially had to close due to unforeseen challenges, sees this as an opportunity to serve his loyal customers once again. The restaurant caters to a variety of dietary preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian. The ICED loan not only provides financial relief, but also highlights the importance of small businesses in economic development.
EDGE Vice President of Operations Dr. Joann Massey emphasizes our dedication to supporting small businesses as a pathway out of poverty and a means to stimulate neighborhood job growth. This initiative aligns perfectly with Beavers’ vision of reconnecting with Memphis residents through his culinary expertise.
As Beavers prepares for the grand reopening, he recently expresses his excitement about returning to the kitchen and contributing to the local food scene. The Grilled Asparagus is set to reopen in September, promising to bring back its signature dishes and warm hospitality to the heart of Whitehaven.
