I’ve seen activity inside the former Krispy Krunchy Chicken location at 51 S. Main, and this morning I learned what was going on in there – and it’s great news for those who live and work in the Downtown core. Dejavu is opening a second location.<\/a> Dejavu is a very popular Creole and soul food restaurant on Florida Street, just a few blocks south of Downtown. The couple of times I’ve been, the food has been excellent, but it’s such a small place that I never know if I will get a table or not. The new second location is 4000 square feet, so that shouldn’t be an issue.<\/p>\n

The new Dejavu location will have a patio that seats 20 outside. That is great news! Patio dining is making its way farther and father up Main Street.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen restaurants come and go in that location, and it almost seems cursed, like nothing can make it there. Even a 600-location chain like Krispy Krunchy Chicken failed. Dejavu, however, has almost a cult-like following already, and I have little doubt it will survive and thrive on Main Street.<\/p>\n

Last week a guy dressed in full Easter Bunny costume showed up at the Flying Saucer, Silly Goose, and Blind Bear one evening. Saturday I learned more information about him… he’d spent the day touring local hospitals to cheer up sick kids, and he decided to finish the day with a mini-pub crawl. Good for the Bunny, and he certainly has good taste in bars!<\/p>\n

News for my fellow former Sleep Out Louie’s regulars: Our buddy Josh has landed a writing gig for the Jackson Sun.<\/a> He’s finishing up college at MTSU, and had an internship here in Memphis last summer for Sports 56 WHBQ. It’s great to see him doing well in his chosen career.<\/p>\n

WrestleMania 29 is this Sunday. Wrestling legend Iron Sheik wrote an article for Bleacher Report on who the real and who the jabroni at the WrestleMania<\/a>. Team the Dusty son and team the Bob Orton son are among Sheikie’s picks.<\/p>\n

Bardog rolls out a new menu today. If I get a chance I’ll swing by and take a look.<\/p>\n

Most likely I’ll have a second post up today after work. It involves bacon, so it’s definitely worth checking back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
