\"\" — One of the managers of the Silly Goose recently described the place as “an adult version of Chuck E. Cheese, with Fireball instead of Skee-ball.” If that’s the case, Kelly (pictured on the right) should spend more time at the Goose. Kelly loves to hang out at Chuck E. Cheese.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Okay. Whatever your plans are today, cancel them. The event of the year – perhaps even the decade<\/em> – takes place this afternoon in Downtown Memphis. I am so fortunate to have read the weekly newsletter downtownmemphis.com sends out, because I almost missed this. Today at 3:30 at the Orpheum is “Super WHY Live.” Here’s the description: “Super Why, Alpha Pig, Wonder Red, Princess Presto and their puppy pal Woofster each take children on larger-than-life, imagination-stimulating adventures.”<\/p>\n
*WOW. I mean, just, wow. Memphis may not have a MLB or NFL team, but we’ve got this. Tickets are $29.50 and $39.50, but why would you not pay $39.50 for a better view of Woofster?<\/p>\n*
*South of Beale has released their new weekend brunch menu. You can view it on* SOB’s website<\/a>. That blackened salmon omelet sounds interesting. So does the SOB Burger. I’ve never heard of a burger topped with salami before. One cool thing about SOB’s menu is that they mark which items are gluten free, making it easy for those on a diet to know what they can order.<\/p>\n
SOB also adopts an “organization of the month.” On receipts, below the tip line is a line where you can write in a donation for the month’s organization. This month it’s the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County.<\/p>\n
The Best Memphis Burger Fest<\/a> has listed its categories in which burger cooks can compete: Best Burger, Best Veggie Burger, Best Anything But Burger, and Best Extreme Burger. Anyone can enter, whether you’re a guy with a grill or a full-service restaurant. However, space is filling up, so if you’re thinking about entering, do it soon. Festival will be in Minglewood Hall’s parking lot on September 30.<\/p>\n
*The Redbirds play Oklahoma City again tonight at 6:05. If you’re bringing kids, get there early – the first 2000 kids get replica Redbirds jerseys. After the game, kids can run the bases.<\/p>\n*
In other stuff going on today, local favorites Pam & Terry play Spindini’s patio from 5 to 8. Bleu has a “Sax on Sundays” jazz series from 6 to 10. There’s a jazz jam with U of M students at Earnestine & Hazel’s, 8 to 11. Memphis Soul Revue plays Huey’s tonight, 8:30.<\/p>\n
If you’re in the mood to brunch it up today, in addition to the aforementioned South of Beale brunch, I recommend Rizzo’s Diner (opens 10 AM), Majestic Grille (opens 11 AM), Bardog (opens noon), and Blind Bear (opens 3 PM). The Flying Saucer and Silly Goose both have build-your-own Bloody Mary bars. Both open at noon.<\/p>\n
*It’s a beautiful Sunday in Downtown Memphis. Time to get out and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"*
