Earth Bread + Brewery may have a small menu, but it fully succeeds at being a good neighborhood spot for beers, flatbread pizzas, and cozy surroundings, laden with meaning and backstories. [“Hearth of Gold”]

• This week’s top five concerns hearty bowls of soup or stew. Consider, for example, the Mahi-Mahi Moqueca from Memphis Taproom, a warming seafood delight. Or, the chili from Bridgid’s, where $5 also gets you cornbread and a Miller High Life. [“Bowls Built for Winter”]

• When it comes to vegetables, the food at Mi Lah Vegetarian brings it, which makes a lot of sense in light of the restaurant’s name. Some things “fall flat” (like the polenta, or an overly tangy jerk sauce) brunch is a real redemption here. [“Daily Allowance: Mi Lah Vegetarian”]
