Remembering Buntyn Restaurant // September 2, 2026

Mike Wiggins takes us back to the days of Buntyn Restaurant, a beloved Memphis institution whose story began in 1927. Mike shares memories of his parents, Milton and Betty Wiggins, the famous fried chicken and legendary yeast rolls, longtime employees and customers, and the lessons his family learned about hard work, hospitality, loyalty and faith. It’s more than the story of a restaurant — it’s the story of a family, a community, and the memories that still live on.
