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

My previous article on the subject got a ton of responses, so I decided to email the Memphis branch of Planned Parenthood for their input. Me: First and foremost, does this decision represent the end of the fight for PP, or does PP intend to contest the decision? We have lodged a formal protest with the [...]
