Author Craig David Meek sent me a publisher’s copy of his book Memphis Barbecue: A Succulent History of Smoke, Sauce & Soul<\/i> so I could write a review for the blog. I’ve been reading it on lunch breaks this week. Today I got to the beginning of chapter 13, and the Moody Ques got mentioned!!!!! Nice! BBQ Fest is discussed in several chapters.<\/p>\n
Memphis Made Brewing Co. will be hosting a beer dinner at Local (the Downtown one) early next month. The Tuesday, July 8 dinner will feature Memphis Made beers and tickets will be $35. To purchase, contact Kari Marshall at 901-581-0541 or at kari@localcaters.com.<\/p>\n
When I listed a few of my recommended places to watch the World Cup, I neglected the best place to get a filet while you watch soccer – the Majestic Grille. They’re showing the games on the TVs at the bar.<\/p>\n
New at Best Memphis Burger Fest this September: a slider eating contest<\/a> sponsored by Slider Inn.<\/p>\n A few days ago I blogged about a disabled homeless veteran, living in his car, who the VA said they couldn’t help. Good news. A Florida real estate broker is working to get the former Marine a place to live with free rent for a year and furniture<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, The Atlantic has an article on how cities use design to drive the homeless away<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Daily News reports that Uber is cutting its prices in Memphis<\/a>. A ride Downtown from the airport will cost about $17 using the ride-sharing service.<\/p>\n Also from the Daily News: The Flying Saucer was here for the beginning of Memphis’ craft beer explosion. 17 years later, the Saucer is still here.<\/a> I’ll be in there at some point tonight for some Dos Equis Lager and hopefully some tube top watching.<\/p>\n The Orpheum has announced a Crosby, Stills and Nash concert<\/a> for August 20. Tickets go on sale next Friday.<\/p>\n The Grizzlies will host midnight basketball clinics<\/a> in Memphis throughout the summer.<\/p>\n The work week is over and it’s time for beer.\u00a0With a lot of my friends out of town and no plans other than the World Cup game on Sunday, it’s a wide open weekend. Check back tomorrow morning, because there will be a post for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author Craig David Meek sent me a publisher’s copy of his book Memphis Barbecue: A Succulent History of Smoke, Sauce & Soul so I could write a review for the blog.
