I had a great conversation with one of the people who run Mark’s Menus last night. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a site that puts local restaurant menus online. They currently have 183 Memphis restaurants listed. If you’re considering trying a new restaurant, it’s a way to check out their menu in advance and figure out what you want before you even step in the door. Better yet, they offer reviews on a dish-by-dish basis, so you can read what other people think are the best dishes. You can also search by dish – for example, if you’re hungry for spaghetti, you can find the best places to get it. Great concept and one that has been needed in Memphis for a long time. It’s amazing how many restaurants have no online presence at all.
I’ll say this once again – if you’re not a member of “The City Taste” group on Facebook, you should be. Last night they sent out an e-mail about Trolley Night on South Main, along with a list of suggested restaurants in the area. Very good resources for discovering new places to dine!
Beer lovers: Lifehacker had an article yesterday about a do-it-yourself jockey box that will pour your beer cold. A mini-keg fits nicely inside.
Just got up… going to spend a few minutes setting up AdWords campaigns, then I think I will drive to Deja Vu, the Creole restaurant on Florida that I’ve been meaning to try forever. Was going to ride the bike but laziness has prevailed.
