On a somewhat BBQ-related note, 2200 piglets were recently released onto a highway when a truck overturned. Hey BBQ team, if we can get up there and catch a few of them, we can reduce our food costs for 2016.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the BBQ team: Team vice-president Clay showed me a photo of the smoker we’re getting for next year and it is a nice one. Double-insulated, so it should have no problem holding temperature even in the worst of conditions.<\/p>\n
Phil Trenary, president and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber, speaks at the South Main Association meeting this evening. It will be at Spindini, free for members, $10 non-members. Complimentary appetizers, happy hour prices, social at 6, meeting at 6:30.<\/p>\n
Off-menu item I learned about last night: Blind Bear has pulled pork nachos, but you can get them topped with ground beef instead of pork now, if you prefer. Apparently a customer requested them so many times that they’re known as “Eddie’s Nachos.” The Bear has discontinued lunch and is opening for happy hour at 3 now (except on weekends, when they open for brunch at 11). A few of the most popular lunch items are going to be brought over to the regular menu.<\/p>\n
