The full set of “food porn” photos I took last week are now online. Last Wednesday I attended Clandestino Dining’s first “underground dining” event in Memphis, combining art with a 7-course dinner. I posted about a dozen pics on my blog Saturday, but now you can view the full set of photos here.
Speaking of food: The Memphis Flyer’s Hungry Memphis Blog has a post about the cook-off at South Main Trolley Night this Friday. Defending champion Ella Bella, coming off a victory over Gloria last month, will put her title on the line against Gary Friday night. Gary is making Korean BBQ tacos; Ella is making a Bacon Explosion. I think just on the basis of menu selection, my vote is for Ella!
Mmmm… thinking back to the hot dog served at Bardog last night… you know what would be even better than a Bacon Explosion? A McSorley’s beer-battered Bacon Explosion. Someone needs to give that idea a try soon.
Need a job? The Peabody is hiring for more than a dozen positions. Check out the list here.
