Nationally Recognized Restaurant Guide
Artist & Publisher
Hello, I am Joy Bateman, a native and life-long resident of Memphis, Tennessee. I have gained recognition nationally for my talent as an artist and a publisher. I have successfully produced a series of books titled The Art of Dining and adding the identification of each wonderful dining location, such as The Art of Dining in New Orleans, The Art of Dining in Memphis, and The Art of Dining in Nashville.
Media Sales
I have also built a reputation as one of the region’s leaders in media sales. In recent years, I have worked with Delta Magazine, before that, for 20 years, I served as a senior account executive for Memphis Magazine, and spent 17 years as a senior account executive with The Memphis Business Journal.
Added Ingredients
“The recent publication of Dining in Memphis 4 is a must-have addition to the previous three books. There are more recipes from some of my favorite restaurants.”—Dr. Billy Kutteh, Fertility Associates of Memphis.

When I am not dining out, cooking, painting, selling, or writing, I am often spending time with my four grandchildren Alex, Ben, Bays, and Lucille. I also enjoy tennis, gardening, and spending as much time as possible at the beach. I am aware that I am living an incredibly blessed life and feel that I am proof that “with God, all things are possible.” –Matt. 19:26.
