Head cook Frank sent out the menus and shopping lists for each day, along with requests for a few items we need in the booth. Of course, a flamethrower is not on the request list because we already have one. I&#8217;d post the menu here but it might attract freeloaders, so check your email and let me know if you did not receive an email.<\/p>\n<p>(I mentioned the flamethrower <img src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/classic-smilies\/img\/icon_mrgreen.gif?w=840\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> )<\/p>\n<p>The Flyer&#8217;s Hungry Memphis blog has a report on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisflyer.com\/HungryMemphis\/archives\/2015\/04\/28\/oshis-danger-dog\">Oshi&#8217;s Danger Dog<\/a>.
