Alchemy is Magic

I went to Alchemy a bit ago to meet the new chef Nick Seabergh and try out some of his items. Nick comes up to Memphis from Vicksburg, and he brings some real skill in the kitchen with him. Nice guy, who was definitely excited about cooking up here at Alchemy. I started out by just [...]

Bari, Brad Pitts, and Battleship

Here’s the deal. When enough people rave about things, you should probably start listening.

How I Roll, the Slider Inn Edition

Recently I went to the opening night party at the Slider Inn on Peabody at the intersection of Cooper. For one magical Friday night, the stars were aligned and there was free food coming out of the oven and free drinks flowing from the taps.

Getting Sterling at Erling Jensen

One of the perks of writing this blog is that my friends send me information about and recommendations for places to go eat. This happened a couple of weeks ago when the Counselor sent me an article on restaurants getting behind the small plate craze from Memphis Magazine (check it out for info on Bar [...]

Eat Local Finally Eats at Local

How did it take me so long to go eat at Local Gastropub? With a name like that it should have been one of my first stops! I’m a little disappointed that no one insisted that I go there. Whatever my (or your) excuse is, I’m glad that I stepped it up last week for [...]
