SubscribeOne 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 [...]

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 [...]
A Real SOB Story
A couple of weeks ago, you remember, when it wasn’t freezing, some of my friends went over to South of Beale to test out the new lunch menu on their patio. There is nothing like sitting in the early fall sun, when temperatures are more Southern California Cool than the usual summer sizzle we have [...]
A Quick Bite – A Soul Man
Yesterday, during a break from setting up the MIFA Feed the Soul event, I went down the street for the only appropriate meal for the day. Ernestine and Hazel’s soul burger is as good as advertised. This was my first time to eat one in the light of day, and I do believe it won’t [...]
Feed Memphis’ Need at MIFA’s Feed the Soul

During my time here, I’ve been able to see the awesome work that we—with the help of our supporters—are able to accomplish in this community. Whether we are feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, or getting teens ready for college, MIFA [...]
The (Southern) Belle of the Ball
A week or so ago, I got together with my friend Kerry, of the award-winning, Memphis-hyping blog, I Love Memphis. I’m always excited to hang out with her, because in addition to nerdy blog talk, we both like to eat and discuss it. Since her work takes her all over the place, she’s always got [...]
I Love Local
I love local things, and one of the cool, unique things that Memphis has is Project Green Fork. If you need a refresher course on what they are all about, you should read my old interview with PGF’s founder Margot McNeeley. But for the short, short version, here is their statement: Project Green Fork contributes [...]
Getting All Burly
Quick note – Before publishing this, I found out that Burly’s is temporarily closed due to a fire in the kitchen. I’ll let you know when I find out they are open, as that would be a perfect time to go support them! – End note. Earlier in the summer, everyone was talking up the [...]
