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 [...]

No Menu? No Problem! Andrew Michael Edition

First a Flash-Forward What you see above is the menu at Andrew Michael that we received after finishing our dinner. “What” you say? That’s right, on No-Menu Monday, you don’t get to see the menu until after the dinner. Why would anyone do that? Why would a consumer give up their choice to come get [...]

R to the Izzo. Yes to the Rizzo’s

When I was in school back in the day, our headmaster would rhetorically ask, “is this a great school, or what?” That will always stand out as a memory, and thankfully, a question that I answered (then and now) with a “yes!” Well, I’d like to steal a page from his playbook and ask, “is [...]

Downtown Memphis is the Home of the Bleu

On Thursday night I was invited to join members of the media (crazy, right???) at Downtown’s newest restaurant for a dinner preview of Bleu. After a couple of weeks worth of cryptic emails and secrecy, I think that everyone was pretty excited to get there. K and I went in to see a newly decorated [...]

An Empire State of Sandwich

Yall all know by know that I’m a born Southerner, and I like it that way. So it is always with a little trepidation that I order the Yankee Club at the Young Ave. Deli. You know what I mean? Lot of good people and stuff up in NYC, but I’ll stick to ol’ M-Town, [...]

Bill the Butcher and His Platter Next Door

If you are familiar with Gangs of New York, you certainly remember Bill “the Butcher” Cutting. This is what he would order at Sweet Grass Next Door. The butcher plate, a combination of the cheese plate and the charcuterie plate. Between the delicious cheeses, house-cured meats (pickled beef tongue, pork loaf, duck something or other), reduction [...]

Itta Been Awesome at Itta Bena

I Love It When a Plan Comes Together Last week, I wondered aloud on Facebook if there were some new places or things that I needed to get out and try. True to form, I got a lot of good comments and advice. When multiple people mentioned that they had looked but not found any [...]

Ferraro’s and the Great 28

This weekend some friends wanted to get together, and one had a tip that Ferraro’s down in the Pinch has some great traditional pizza. Easy enough argument, and off the eight of us went to check it out. First thing, easy to get to, easy to park free, which isn’t always the case downtown, so [...]

Here Comes Sunshine and the Sunshine Burger

A couple of weeks ago, you might remember that I was mired in a crisis of faith. I was struggling with burger monogamy (you know what I mean), as the Sunshine Burger at Huey’s had caught my eye after so many years of letting the West Coast Burger wear my letter jacket. So, I went [...]

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 [...]
