The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestmemphisburgerfest.com\">Best Memphis Burger Festival<\/a> has announced a new judging category, one that is very appropriate considering the fest is held on Sunday Fun Day. If you think you make a good Bloody Mary, this year you&#8217;ll be able to compete for the title of Best Bloody Mary.

The festival will be at Minglewood Hall on September 22.<\/p>\n<p>The people who organize Bardog&#8217;s alley party are gathering complete information to send me, but I&#8217;ve already heard of one new event to be added this year: A poker tournament. All money raised at the alley party (except alcohol sales) goes to St. Jude. The party is August 18.<\/p>\n<p>One of my BBQ team leaders confirmed last night that the Smokin&#8217; Aces BBQ Festival will not be happening in Tunica this year. In past years it had happened the third weekend of September. I&#8217;m sad to hear of the cancellation, because my team the Moody Ques had hoped to compete this year. I guess we will have to look for another regional event.<\/p>\n<p>One correction from yesterday: My friend Air Traffic Mike will be working at an <b>Italian<\/b> ice stand starting tomorrow at Main and Union, not a shaved ice stand as I previously reported. Italian ice is made by a different process, where fruit juice is blended into a liquid and finely frozen.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a job? There&#8217;s a new board called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisjobfever.com\/Pages\/Common\/Home.aspx\">MemphisJobFever<\/a> that you might want to check out. It lets job hunters make a direct connection with prospective employers.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;ll wrap it up for today. I&#8217;ll be out at the usual bars tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of festival news this Tuesday.
