In case you missed the announcement I made yesterday afternoon, Chef David Scott Walker will start as executive chef at the Blind Bear next week. However, that is not the only new-chef announcement in the news. Flight has announced that Nick Scott is its new executive chef. Having won awards for his creations at Bluefin, Scott will work with chef-partner and culinary director Joshua Laban Perkins. Congratulations to both chefs on their new gigs.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned of one more venue Downtown that has NFL Sunday Ticket, for those of you who live in the northern part of the area: TJ Mulligan’s in the Punch. They also host the Steelers Fan Club, and the bar has over 10 TVs. Never a cover and free parking.<\/p>\n
I blogged about the Big Scoop Ice Cream Festival Saturday, September 28 at AutoZone Park, but I neglected to provide a link for ticket sales. Blog reader MILF2B inquired what the link was (I guess she’s never heard of Google) and I thought I’d share it for the benefit of other readers. Buy tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n A new, high-energy dance team made up of kids ages 7-12, the Blue Bunch, will perform at Grizzlies games this year. Auditions will happen at SubRoy Studios on Whitten Road at 9 AM Sunday. This link<\/a> has info about a pre-audition class happening Friday so your kids can learn the dance routine in advance and be ahead of the game for auditions.<\/p>\n ESPN Magazine has named the best franchise in sports. Find out who it is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The @JobsMemphis Twitter account is putting out some good stuff today if you’re looking. I’ve seen several Walgreens assistant manager trainee jobs, and a FedEx Ground package handler position.<\/p>\n Yesterday I mentioned that Squeal Street BBQ invited me to hang out in their booth for Best Memphis Burger Fest<\/a> Sunday (for which they will temporarily rename themselves Squeal Street Burger). Last night I was hanging out with a couple of the team captains at the Saucer, and they asked, “Do you want a T-shirt too?” Awesome! I’m going to try to get there as close to opening as possible (10:30 AM) and take a complete photo spread, the way I do for my own BBQ team The Moody Ques at BBQ Fest. I’ve been told that the fest’s organizers pushed the awards ceremony back to 5 PM this year, so I’ll be sticking around all day. Of course, with a forecast of sunshine and temps around 80, the crowd should be much larger than last year (58 and misty). Should be plenty to see. Maybe I’ll snap a few late-season tube top photos.<\/p>\n I’ll be at poker tonight at the Blind Bear, 8 PM, with a likely Saucer stop before that. I need a good showing at poker this evening to accumulate points, because the burger fest will most likely cause me to miss Sunday’s game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In case you missed the announcement I made yesterday afternoon, Chef David Scott Walker will start as executive chef at the Blind Bear next week.
