With all the travel and then at-home eating, it has been a slow on the blog since Cochon. Here’s the plan.
I want to write about 10 NEW (to me or to Memphis) places during the month of October, and I need your help.
Post in the comments where I should go, and I’ll work on making it happen in the next month.
THANKS!
-Thomas

I would like to suggest Tom’s BBQ, Emilio’s Carniceria y Taqueria, and Restaurante Veracruz.
Tom’s is well known in the area, but I don’t recall seeing any popular blog reviews.
Emilio’s is a great little place, great for a quick bite and an interesting experience.
Restaurante Veracruz is a nice Mexican restaurant and the only place in town that I have found the salsa served warm; it’s an interesting surprise.
Check out the new Venezuelan restaurant on Madison near the Trolley Stop Market.
You may have already covered some of these…but I’d like to hear about places in the greater Mid-South area, like Hernando and Oxford. The kinds of places that might be a good day trip.
Have you been to Imagine Vegan Cafe? Do it!!! Have the Memphis BBQ sandwich or the French Dip, or the pizza!
The Half Shell on Winchester Rd has the best fish tacos in Memphis! I have always wondered if you have tried them. They are served with some of the best red beans and rice I have ever had. Give it a shot!
I don’t know what’s wrong with mixing in a Chili’s everynow and then…
Out in Collierville, Booya’s is worth a visit.
Try Los Picosos on Summer. That has become our favorite Sunday lunch spot – not much atmosphere but really, really good food at a great price.
I second the Venezuelan place next to Trolley Stop.. and DEFINITELY hit Evelyn & Olive next door for some grilled jerk wings and cabbage. Unreal.
Most importantly, Camino el Michoacan. Skip the fluffy baked goods (pick up something dense or heavy-looking), and get a gordita with chorizo + fries and guac. I don’t know why, but the fries are heavenly.
I forgot to search for the Cuban part of Los Compadres.. pollo asado to-die-for!

The Half Shell on Winchester has the best fish tacos in Memphis. They are served with some delicious red beans and rice too. I promise you won’t regret this trip. The fried mushrooms are worth the trip alone, but PLEASE try the fish tacos.
Sounds like a lot of good suggestions. I do hope you try new Venezuelan restaurant. I would like a guinea pig before I go there.
Thomas please come and see us at the bakery!
