I’ve never really been a big soup eater. I wasn’t growing up, and as an adult I’ve tended to pass over soups at restaurants in favor of more substantial choices. However, yesterday I made an exception when the Brass Door posted its specials to Facebook. They have a sandwich of the day and a slider of the day, as well as a Hot Pot, which is a soup or stew of the day. Yesterday’s Hot Pot consisted of smoked ham hocks, chicken, black-eyed peas and collard greens. “That sounds delicious,” I thought. Late in the afternoon, I took a break from the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival and wandered north to the Brass Door. Here’s a pic of yesterday’s Hot Pot.<\/p>\n

It was even tastier than it sounded on Facebook! It was seasoned with just the right amount of pepper, and the ingredients complemented each other for a delicious experience. It was so good that I contemplated ordering a second bowl. This was easily the best bowl of soup I’ve ever had, and it has convinced me that I need to try more of their Hot Pots of the Day.<\/p>\n

They usually have the same Hot Pot for 3-4 days before changing to a new special. This one was first seen on Friday, I believe, so it’s possible it may return today. You can find out by “Liking” the Brass Door on Facebook or following them at @TheBrassDoor1 on Twitter. They usually post their specials around opening time of 11 AM. If this Hot Pot returns, I highly recommend you stop in and give it a try.<\/p>\n

One more post to come. Time for me to look through today’s lineup at the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival and make “Paul’s Picks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
