Chef Ben Vaughn Opens Grace Restaurant Memphis
Memphis, Tennessee (January 27, 2010) – Chef Ben Vaughn, the owner and chef at Grace Restaurant in Memphis, celebrated at a Grand Opening party on Tuesday, January 26th, 2010. The special menu featured creations from Chef Ben Vaughn as well as Chef Wally Joe, Erling Jensen, Jason Severs, and Reni Alfonso.
According to Chef Ben Vaughn’s Facebook page for Grace Restaurant, the eatery focuses on “progressive, minimalist Southern cuisine, with French techniques. Grace delivers fresh ingredients, and bold creativity.” Soft lighting in a cozy dining room is paired with a welcoming salon area. Local art and an outdoors terrace set the stage for a menu featuring Southern food cooked with French techniques. A recent menu at Grace Restaurant included Apalachicola oysters stuffed with ciabatta and Roquefort cheese. Other items offered by Chef Ben Vaughn have included basil ice cream, crawfish toast, scallop pappardella, rack of lamb, oysters, and halibut and grits.
“Grace will be known for providing Memphis with menus designed around seasonal ingredients, creating an exciting dining experience that brings together resources from Tennessee and other Delta farmers,” Chef Ben Vaughn states on his blog. “The goal will be to extend the creative boundaries of any meal by diversely matching local components.”
Vaughn's influences are derived from the diverse cuisine of South Florida. Chef Ben Vaughn was voted as one of the top 5 “Best Chefs in Memphis Tennessee” and tied with Chef Wally Joe for the 2nd Place Silver winner. Chef Ben Vaughn most recently received praise during his time at the Memphis, Tennessee award winning River Oaks Restaurant as chef and partner.
Chef Ben Vaughn was about eight years old; the first time he recalls cooking. The menu? Pancakes. Later, a long time family friend would take him around to Greek diners and restaurants in South Florida. “He owned a few different ones and he would swing me back through the kitchens and I'd get to see all the stuff going on behind the scenes.”
The decision to become a chef was a natural one. According to Chef Ben Vaughn, he was about 15 years old when he decided to cook for a living. “It was definitely a drive. It was something I wanted to do.” Chef Ben Vaughn’s first job was in Florida at a well-known restaurant called Mario's. He was sixteen years old. Later, he worked with award winning Mark Militello as well as the Food Network's Sara Moulton.
Chef Ben Vaughn has started a blog at www.gracememphis.com and the restaurant’s Facebook page has over 1200 fans in just a few short months. Grace Restaurant is open six days a week and closed on Sundays. Chef Ben Vaughn says the Memphis, Tennessee restaurant will have special menus each week.
“It’s going to be a local thing, very approachable, kind of a French technique meets Southern ingredients thing,” Chef Ben Vaughn concludes. “We just want to have a good time. It’s a platform for me to cook, really. And it’ll be a very casual but nice atmosphere.

![]() Chef's Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, White List Price: Sale Price: $139.95 You save: $0.04 (%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionThis professional Sharpener puts a razor-sharp edge on both straight and serrated blades, without destroying the temper. This well-engineered system uses a three-stage process in which blades are sharpened and honed on 100 percent diamond abrasive belts, then stropped to give the blade a fine, smooth edge. The three-stage heavy duty patented sharpening process allows you to select the type of ultra-sharp edge preferred for the knife's intended use. The sharpener automatically aligns blades to the correct angle. Great for sharpening kitchen knives, sporting knives, pocket knives, as well as serrated bread knives. Specially designed guides align blades to the precise angle. It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predictable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even serrated knives can be sharpened with this machine. For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100 percent diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique Trizor-Plus edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. --Laura Cuthbert From the Manufacturer Features

![]() Wusthof Gourmet 3-Piece Essentials Set with Chef's Knife, Parer, and Shears List Price: Sale Price: $64.99 You save: $72.01 (53%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionIn the kitchen there are some tools that you use everyday. The Wusthof Gourmet 3 piece Essentials set combines these three tools in one set. The 8 Cooks knife is your work-horse knife that is used to chop and slice and the 3.5 inch parer does all the smaller jobs of peeling and paring. The Come Apart kitchen Shear is durable and can cut everything from string to cardboard it comes apart for easy cleaning. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility. Located in "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Features

![]() Chef's Choice 300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener, White List Price: Sale Price: $39.95 You save: $20.04 (33%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionChefs Choice M300 Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener White - Chefs Choice 0130000 This electric sharpener is so simple to use that knives practically sharpen themselves. It puts a professional-style edge on any kitchen or sporting knife (except serrated knives). Because magnetic guides hold a blade at the proper angles, no guesswork is involved. You simply grip your knife loosely and pull it lightly through the sharpener's slots without pressing down. Key to this knife sharpener's performance is the two different stages: the sharpening stage and the second honing stage, which polishes the blade to a razor edge. Those two stages create different bevels, putting a "shoulder" on an edge instead of sharpening with a single bevel. The shoulder strengthens the edge so it lasts longer. For each stage there is a pair of slots, and the slots use 100 percent diamond abrasives for hardness. The sharpener measures 7 inches long, 4-1/4 inches high, and 3-3/4 inches deep and carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack Features
