Q: Today is National Only Child Day. How do you recommend I observe this very important holiday?
A: Great question, and if I had brothers or sisters, which I don’t, I would ask their opinion. Nevertheless, I will attempt to answer this question on my own. I find that a gift of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer is appropriate for such an occasion; it thoughtfully says, “This is your special day and I care.”
The Mid-South Korean BBQ Festival is today from noon to 6 at Grind City Brewing. It features competition in three categories: American BBQ (pork), Korean BBQ (beef), and dumplings. There are two levels of tickets, both of which allow you to sample the teams’ food: general admission for $15, and VIP for $50. VIP gets you early entry, unlimited beers, seltzers, and sours, plus a parking spot. Korean dancing from the Korean Association of Memphis.
