Memphis is getting a new BBQ competition. The Mid-South Korean BBQ Festival (“Korean BBQ Fest”), to be held on the grounds of Grind City Brewing on Saturday, April 12, will feature cookteams’ interpretation of South Korean style. South Korea is Memphis in May’s.2025 honored country.
Hmmm I wonder if Squeal Street BBQ will get back together for this event? There’s definitely an interest in #asianfood among members of that team.
When are we going to see a NORTH Korean BBQ festival? A photo of Kim Jong Un would be mandatory, of course, in every team booth, and competition categories could include “dog,” “cat,” and “rodent.” Prediction if such an event occurs: A team from Knoxville will win Grand Champion with its BBQ Squirrel Fried Rice dish.
Hard Times Deli is now open at 655 Marshall, and Choose901 has a look (includes a photo of the menu).
Closed today due to winter weather
- Terrace at River Inn
- Groove on Demand rideshare
- Cossitt Library
Memphis Made will have Junt fresh cream ale back on tap in its taproom for a limited time starting Saturday.
That’s it for today. Back tomorrow.
