SubscribeI remember when this: Looked like this: Four years after a “soft” opening that was so successful that I had to take March 1, 2008 (the second day) off work to come work in the bakery, Muddy’s Bake Shop continues to grow in its success. So this is a little “Happy Birthday!” from me to [...]

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler, or, My Fat Tuesday at Iris
During the time I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve found a couple of helpful hints for the potential blogger out there. Don’t be afraid to take your camera into a restaurant. As much as I hate toting my murse (camera bag/man purse) around, the photos I get from my DSLR are much better than those [...]
Caked Up
Sometimes, at home, this happens. And there is much rejoicing. -Thomas
Holding Out for a Gyro

The Prince
So, Cochon 555 was 9 days ago, and it still feels like yesterday. I kind of feel like Will Farrell in Old School, when he finishes his debate. So, now that I’ve come to after a Cochon-induced blackout, I can safely say that February 4 was one of the best culinary experiences of my life. [...]
ACRE – A Celebrated Restaurant Experience

Farm to Table Conference Sprouts in M-Town
Ever 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. [...]
