SubscribeEver had one of those moments where you didn’t realize you forgot something? Then, like the boomerang that soars off through the sky before making a hella-u-turn and slicing through the wind back into your hand (this may not happen unless you’re an Aussie, but you get the idea), something happens that makes you go [...]

Mr. Goodburger at Roxie’s
If you follow any of the food folk on Twitter, then you may have spent a little time this past week hearing about the Mr. Goodburger at Roxie’s Grocery. I do follow Twitter, so I saw @memphisseth (aka Best Memphis Burger) and @ktbenj chatting about how it was the Uptown Burger that I reviewed a [...]
Cochon555 – Words From People That Know Pig – Interview with Kelly English, Michael Hudman, Andy Ticer, and Brady Lowe
Let’s take it back a bit. A good while ago I found out that Cochon555 had Memphis on the tour this year. That went a little like this: T: Holy Berkshire! K: What? T: Cochon is coming to Memphis!!! This is only the coolest sounding food event that I have ever heard of. 5 pigs [...]
2nd Annual Clan Gordon Dinner
So, last year K’s father and stepmother hosted a Christmas family dinner, which became an instant tradition. It was so good that we gave it an official name, the 1st Annual Clan Gordon English Dinner. It went down as one of my favorite 10 meals of the year, and it was really a huge hit. [...]
This Burger Will Roxie Your Soxies Right Off
One of the interesting things about life today is the nearly instant access to all kinds of information. Basically, I only really “rack my brain” when my crew is playing team trivia, which is a no cell phone allowed activity, or at work, when someone asks me something that I would know that would not [...]
The Things I Do – Bacon Coffee Edition
I called my mom this afternoon to tell her a story about how Eat Local Memphis has affected my life. I had just finished a marathon lacrosse coaching session from 8-12 this morning, and I zipped over to Poplar Perk’n to get a hot drink. Without looking at the menu, I just ordered up a [...]
Something Sketchy in Memphis
I’m getting pumped up for my next class at Flicker Street Studio. In the fall, I took a sketching class from Elizabeth Alley, an artist, urban sketcher, and excellent teacher. The class combined a great subject for my ADD-style life, one in which I am always doing multiple things at once, or quickly switching from [...]
SEC! SEC! SPR! SPR!
Hopefully most of you are making the most of this Monday night and are watching the college football national championship game. I’ve been looking forward to the possibility of four more quarters of LSU and Alabama since the first time the squared off. It really is a statement by the SEC, that in addition to [...]
Happy Dragon Year
2012 is the year of the Dragon. I can’t tell you why this is so exciting. Maybe this ill explain it… Maybe? Whether that does it for you or not, I’m excited about 2012. I can foresee a lot of cool things/people/places to blog about, and I’m looking forward to writing about them. I’m resolved [...]
Christmas Eve Came Early
Some people have one primary activity during the Christmas holidays, and some people, like me, have about 4-5 major events. I’ve got multiple family units that all live in Memphis, so I basically bounce between Midtown and East Memphis (primarily the Old Dutchtown region around Goodlett and Walnut Grove). The best part is that I [...]
