SubscribeI 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 [...]
Friday Funday – Grilled Cheese
Friday Funday lunch with some friends at Felicia Suzanne. Here’s her famous grilled cheese sandwich. Good enough to make a grown man cry*. -Thomas * – The grown man wasn’t me, but the one that saw what I got and wished he had gotten it too.
Listen Local – MGMT edition
Tonight is the opening night of Music Fest, so for those of you that won’t be watching the Grizzlies at 9:00pm, you should make your way over to the Horseshoe Casino stage to see MGMT, featuring Memphis’ Andrew Van WynGarden. My friends* and I have been major MGMT fans since the Time to Pretend EP [...]
Call in the Calvary! Its Waffle Shop Time!

Andy Andrew’s of the St. Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral for reminding us all of that on Ash Wednesday). While a time of methodically fasting, Lent is also a time that brings something dear [...]
Aint No Time to Stash the Gumbo
Get that Gumbo Out It is freezing, windy, snowy, and all those awesome things out there. Just the kind of weather that makes me want to eat soups, stews, or perhaps the ultimate Cajun concoction, gumbo. Last week, cold weather sent me in search of something to warm my body, mind, and soul, and Dejavu [...]
Don’t Forget Your Lunchbox!
I come from one of those big Memphis families. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve heard something like, “Thomas, you are related to everyone in this town!” While that isn’t technically true, it is accurate to say that I have a pretty large family around here. The best part is that a [...]
Treasure Maps and Lunchboxes
“Hey you guys!!!!!!!!” When I was a kid, I definitively had a favorite movie. I have probably watched The Goonies a thousand times, including at least a hundred times during the summer of 1990. The movie had everything that a kid could want, neighborhood kids getting into crazy adventures. Some were no big deal, some [...]
Friday Funday with Felicia Suzanne
Recently I found out that one of Memphis’ best restaurants was opening their doors a little early on Fridays to start serving lunch. When I passed the word (and the lunch menu) around the office, I heard a could “huzzah!”s and much rejoicing. We immediately made plans for a Friday Funday at Felicia Suzanne’s . [...]
