JPK is what Memphis music is all about. Tune in for a good show!
Yesterday I decided to walk down to South Main Grocery, the new locals’ market inside Spindini, 385 S. Main. Having anticipated the closure of restaurant dining rooms, about a week ago they converted part of their space into a grocery, selling fresh produce, cooking supplies, beer, wine, and prepared foods. I think the original idea was to sell down their stock in the kitchen and behind the bar. However, the concept proved so popular that they decided to keep it going, at least until such time as the pandemic passes and they can get back to being a restaurant.
As soon as you walk in, you’ll see three refrigerators to your right – one with glass doors, two with stainless steel doors. This is the grab & go and it is perfect for people who don’t cook at home.
This sausage & cheese tray comes with smoked sausage, ham, four kinds of cheeses, and pepperoncinis for $10. This is an excellent quarantine snack because you don’t have to eat it all at once. You can take it out of the fridge and munch on it as little or as much as you like, multiple times throughout the day. Look how excited Perjorie T. Roll is about those peppers!
Lasagna – this was marked by a piece of tape on the outside of the fridge as being $5. Based on the total, I think it might actually rung up at $6, but I’m not going to argue with a huge hunk of Spindini’s lasagna for either price! Can’t wait to heat this up. I just have to figure out how to get it out of the plastic container while keeping all the layers intact.
Their grab & go is loaded with other items as well. I noticed rigatoni, potato salad, gumbo, and I think tomato soup among others. They have sliced deli turkey $4 a pound. Their import six-packs are $10 and their domestic six-packs $8 (I didn’t see PBR).
Cheers to the folks at Spindini for this fine innovation. This makes Downtown under quarantine more diverse grocery-wise, so thank you!
On the way back up Main I noticed that Bedrock Eats & Sweets has a nice-sized grab & go as well, and I made a mental note to check that out this coming week.
Downtown Wines & Spirits is now on Facebook; please give the page a Like. This is the spirits shop run by Carl Winfield, a great Downtown businessman who has run Winfield’s clothing and shoe store at Madison and Main for a decade and a half. Inventory was updated when Carl took the liquor store next door over. He is now carrying upscale liquors that will appeal to residents of apartments and condos in the area, as well as hotel guests. Please support this store; it is bringing needed change to the neighborhood.
I’m noticing that people are changing their screen names on Twitter to names like Bob “Wash Your Hands” Smith and Amy “Stay at Home” Williams. I think I’ll change my screen name to Paul “Clean Your Dryer’s Lint Trap” Ryburn. Yeah not COVID-19 related, but solid advice in any case.
