SubscribeLet’s take it back a bit. A good while ago I found out that Cochon555 had Memphis on the tour this year. That went a little like this: T: Holy Berkshire! K: What? T: Cochon is coming to Memphis!!! This is only the coolest sounding food event that I have ever heard of. 5 pigs [...]

29 and Forwards up the Number Line
A trip down the number line and highway 78 Today’s my 29th birthday. Whoa! It isn’t that I’m old exactly (I’m not) or even that I feel old. It is just a surprise that here I am at 29! I spent the past weekend with some friends down in Atlanta to see Phish for the [...]
The Burger Bar – a Zinnie’s Lunch Primer
Z-Bombs Away and the new Crowd Quality Index A few days back, K got the chance to come down to Midtown to go out to lunch with me. Since this is a pretty rare occasion, we went for something that we don’t get too often. The elusive Zinnie’s lunch. I only call it elusive because [...]
Do you Do? I do Do.
Here is the Eat Local Memphis song of the moment. Thanks go out to my brother for the tip and to The Hype Machine for the insane collection of music that I’ve been listening to lately. Tiesto (ft. Tegan and Sara) – Feel It In My Bones by alienhits The Great Debate There are a [...]
Andrew Michael – Italian Stallions

Totally Sweet (Grass)!

Pho the Love of the Game
It was sixty years ago today (or a couple weeks ago) A week or so ago my sister, dad, and I went out to to lunch celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. As the birthday boy, he got to pick the place, and for the second year in a row (with me at least), we went [...]
Le Cinq de Mai! Oh wait…
Power to the people Yesterday I asked the kind folks on the old Eat Local Facebook to pick where I should go for Cinco de Mayo. One of the best parts about Memphis is the passion with which people talk about their favorite foods, and that is evident in the comments, give them a read. [...]
Sweets and Meats, the post-Lenten Treats
This party is going to make House Party 1 look like House Party 2! During Lent K and I gave up meat. So for over 40 days, I wandered about in a meat-free desert. The pros were that I was able to find plenty of good vegan and vegetarian options in town and I realized [...]
