Memphis Business Journal is doing a “Best Chef” contest based on reader votes. Looks like it will be done by weekly matchup instead of a straight vote. Here’s the main page: http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/feature/best-chef-in-memphis-landing-page.html And a direct link to vote for Chef Patrick: http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/blog/2012/02/best-chef-in-memphis-round-1-match-10.html    

The facebook page is up, but I don’t believe they have a proper website yet. Excerpted from a message he sent me: The Grand Opening will be Trolley Night September 30th. The Cuisine will be southern inspired diner fare with my fine dining twists and interpretations. Lunch 11 to 2:30 Tuesday through Friday. Dinner 5 [...]

I got this from the Orpheum a few weeks ago and forgot to post it. Here’s the cliff notes version:   Here’s the official press release on their website. In short, they play classic and cult classic movies on Thursday and/or Friday during the summer. The Majestic Grill is usually really popular before/after shows btw, [...]

Seeing how the “risqué” billboard for the south main shoe store “Strut” (Who, inexplicably, doesn’t appear to have a website) is apparently of great concern, why is no one feigning shock and outrage over the WellWorks window display downtown?

I started poking around and noticed that absolutely no one has donated to Downtown Elementary. Their page can be found here. I say we change that. I ordered the book on amazon, so [...]

So apparently there’s some family movie opening in Memphis soon. Not really sure why Memphis was chosen, other than the geographical aspect (It’s also opening in St. Louis and Louisville), but they are sending me a screener, and that makes me feel like a legitimate media outlet, so I’ll promote them anyway. I’ll report back [...]

Meh. Had a handful of cool shots of Memphis, but that was basically the only thing that entertained me about it. The lead actor is actually decent, but the character is just a cliche. The rooftop shots that are obviously New Orleans and not Memphis were insulting. The “Police Station” being a tiny little closet [...]

Pics pretty much tell you everything you need to know. Their birthday parties are always a good time.

I always forget that Huey’s has some pretty awesome nachos. Got some the other night with TheoGeo and nommed them. I forgot to take pics until it was far too late Summer is definitely coming back. Funny how you forget exactly how oppressively hot it is. Also, I’m gonna try to capture as many of [...]
