Veteran’s Day will be celebrated Monday, so I’ll start off today with a couple of pieces of Veteran’s Day news. First of all, there will be a parade to honor our veterans down Second Street that morning. It will start at Exchange and go south on Second to Monroe. I don’t see a start time listed but I believe it’s been 10 AM in previous years.
Also, Segway Tours of Memphis will offer 50% off on tours of Memphis to veterans that day. If you want to make a reservation, email MemphisTours@segway.com.
At the Best Memphis Burger Festival on September 30, part of the prize package for the winning team was that the burger would be featured on Kooky Canuck’s menu for one week, provided a restaurant was not the big winner. A private team won, and the burger created by Team Shoemaker Financial (Tal Goldsby, Amy Jenkins, Lauren Cooper and Nich Yatsula) will be on Kooky’s menu from Monday, November 12 to Sunday, November 18. The burger consists of cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, peppercorn mayo, fried egg, avocado, lettuce, and a buttered bun.
There will be a Grizzlies watch party Wednesday night, November 14 at Aldo’s Pizza Pies. The Grizzlies will be at Oklahoma City to play the Thunder that night, and Aldo’s will have the game on its 6 TVs. $2.50 Bud and Bud Light.
