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 [...]
Whose House? Corned Beef House
A week ago a friend of mine told me about a place that she’d heard of over on the corner of Jackson and Dunlap just off the Northish edge of Downtown called the Corned Beef House. She had heard that they serve corned beef (naturally), barbecue, and breakfast all day. Obviously, I had to go. [...]
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 [...]
The Secret Garden – Fratelli’s Edition
Yesterday I met up with two of my friends from ArtsMemphis for lunch at one of Memphis’ hidden gems. Nestled in the Memphis Botanic Garden is Fratelli’s in the Garden. Minutes in either direction from a crowded Poplar Ave. and Park Ave. is a refuge from the urban world around us, one full of flowers, [...]
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 [...]
Fun at Fino’s
Somehow I haven’t yet written about Fino’s yet. This doesn’t mean that I haven’t eaten there, as I always seem to end up there on days that I don’t have my camera in tow. But not last week! F is for Fino Fino’s From the Hill is one of midtown’s gems. An Italian deli and [...]
The Brass Door is Solid Gold
Since I am not exactly getting the scoops on places opening up, and there are other (much more prolific) bloggers (Paul and Kerry) that are doing an awesome job of getting to places when they open and writing about them in a timely manner, you are probably well aware of The Brass Door downtown. I’m [...]
