Moody Ques: I have confirmed the address for our Saturday, August 8 cookout. It will be at 444 Monroe, in The Edge district about half a block east of Danny Thomas. Holliday Flowers’ new warehouse is there, with 30,000 square feet and a commercial kitchen. More details to come, but this should be a fun event, and our food gets better with each practice cook.<\/p>\n
Our BBQ team head cook Frank posted a photo of a French martini he made, except instead of pineapple juice as an ingredient, he substituted a Jones Orchard peach puree. There is truly no end to the things you can do with locally grown fresh produce from the Memphis Farmers Market.
\nDo YOU have a story about something creative you did with MFM produce? Email it to paul@paulryburn.com and I will share it on the blog.<\/p>\n
A friend of mine who lives in the northwest part of 38103 had some stuff stolen recently. Be on the lookout for some guitars and other electronics, and particularly a Beretta 92 40 S&W (hope I got that right, I know nothing about guns). He’d like to recover all his stuff but is particularly interested in getting the gun off the street. Call 545-COPS if you have information.<\/p>\n
If you want to try new Mexican restaurant Agave Maria and meet some of the city’s entrepreneurs, inventors, and creators, Start Co. is having its Lounge<\/a> there tomorrow night 5:30-7:30.<\/p>\n Frozen<\/i> will be shown on the big screen in a free viewing tonight at 8:30 at Beale Street Landing.<\/p>\n There will be a parade at 11 tomorrow, starting at City Hall, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.<\/p>\n The Crowne Plaza will receive $7 million in renovations<\/a>. With its proximity to Bass Pro and the Cook Convention Center, owners want to upgrade the hotel so it does not appear outdated compared to others in the area.<\/p>\n Fun night last night. After leading off at Melissa Monday at Bardog, I went over to Blind Bear, where Mary was bartending her first closing shift by herself. I was her only customer for a while, and we swapped stories, including waking up following a Purple Haze late night and finding a phone number written on your arm; how bookstores were great places to pick up women about 15 years ago; how one night in 2009 I met a woman at South Main Trolley Night, and Michele snuck us out the back door of Max’s Sports Bar so her friends couldn’t cockblock us. Fun times.<\/p>\n Outta here for now. Not sure where to do happy hour tonight. Really, all of my “Big Five” are an option. Possibly a second post around 5:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Moody Ques: I have confirmed the address for our Saturday, August 8 cookout.
