I’m going to stab everyone if I don’t get Mexican food soon.

I keep putting it off, I’m in an insane margarita and taco withdrawal craze. This will end badly.

Breakfast from Blue Plate or How to condense your entire day’s caloric intake into one meal.

I woke up early yesterday morning and was famished, having skipped dinner. I decided I’d grab some carry out from Blue Plate. I ordered the “2 Eggs any style” with Hash Browns. I forgot they ALSO come with biscuits and gravy. It was delicious, even though I couldn’t finish it, but it was so filling I literally didn’t anything else all day. They definitely give you your money’s worth.

I think I’m gonna hit Kooky Canuck tonight after work, I’ll try to remember to bring a camera or something and document the shenanigans.

Why is there no place for fish and chips downtown?

Or am I forgetting a place? There was Dan McGuinness, but it’s long gone. I don’t believe flying fish does fish and chips, I think the closest you’re gonna get there is catfish with a side of fries. I need a fish and chip fix, let me know if you have any suggestions.

Don’t forget – Soup Sunday Tomorrow at FedEx Forum.

I’ll be there with Theogeo. $20 gets you a bunch of soup from 11am to 2pm, with proceeds going to Youth Villages. More info HERE, or you can check out the menu I so thoughtfully screenshotted for you.

Have a day off, just grabbed some lunch at Lenny’s

I ordered online, which is really well done, and ran down there to pick it up. Great system, everything was ready, paid with a card online and didn’t even have to sign anything, just grabbed it and went. Their french dip is fucking awesome btw.

Not sure if I’m going to get out tonight or not. Bardog has pint night, but I have to work tomorrow too.

Went to Kooky Canuck tonight for dinner…

Had some delicious chicken tenders, drank a bit, made TheoGeo give me this crazed look:

Overall a good night. Also apparently some people from Three Six Mafia were there, but I forgot to give a fuck. Strange memories on a nervous night. Time to finish my rum and try to sleep.

Grabbed Dinner at Bardog Tonight…

Had their sliders, pretty damn good, some of the best I’ve had, honestly. Their fries are pretty good too. I’ve only been there a handful of times, but now that I live like 2 seconds away, I have a feeling I’ll be there a lot. If you notice the picture doesn’t suck like most of my pictures do, it’s because Theogeo took it. She got a grilled cheese but was too busy talking about boobs to take a picture of it.

Oh Snap, Side Street Grill in Midtown burned down last night.

From the CA:

An early morning fire destroyed popular Midtown restaurant and bar Side Street Grill in Overton Square.

The fire at the establishment, located at 31 Florence, started about 1 a.m. today. Memphis Fire Department officials have not released the cause of the blaze.

The bar was known for its martinis and outdoor patio.

Check back later today for more details.

I’ve been meaning to get to Side Street, their blackened chicken pasta is fantastic. I guess I’ll be waiting a while.

Finally got to Bardog the other night.

Just had a few drinks as it was already pretty late, but it’s a cool place. I’m going to try to get back this weekend to try out their food.

Little Italy Pizza Revisted.

I posted a quick blurb about this place a month or so ago, but I ordered again tonight and felt I should do a more in depth review.

I gotta say, this is easily the best pizza in Memphis. Tonight I ordered a Supreme and got it delivered. Supreme consists of pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, peppers, black olives, and sausage. A large came to $19.xx delivered.

The first thing that struck me was how fast delivery was, under 30 minutes from placing the order to it arriving. I dunno if that’s typical, but I certainly can’t complain.

I got the pie and grabbed a slice. It’s immediately obvious that all of the toppings are fresh and hand cut. No uniform size onions out of a giant vat, you can tell they chop their veggies fresh. The crust is also obviously not frozen. As a whole, you get the impression of freshness in pretty much every bite.

Here’s a slice of my supreme.

Spectacular. One of the few places in town that gets the mushrooms right. They’re delicious and juicy without being slimy. If you’re hungry for pizza, you really can’t go wrong here.
