Everything was back in shape by Sunday, so Chef Michael Patrick did a rare Sunday opening. It sounded like a good excuse to try something off the new menu, so I headed down there. I got the herb-encrusted rack of lamb, with mango, horseradish demi-glace, and garlic mashed potatoes. How was it? I will borrow a phrase from my friend Jack&#8230; it was baaaaaaaad to the bone.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t eat lamb from just any place, because if cooked wrong it can come out gamey. With Chef doing the cooking, though, I knew I had nothing to worry about. It was cooked to perfection. The garlic mashed potatoes were a perfect compliment and went great with the sauce. Absolutely an A+ dinner that I would get again.<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rizzosmemphis.com\/\">Rizzo&#8217;s website<\/a> and take a gander at the new menu. It&#8217;s at the corner of South Main and Butler across from the fire station in the arts district. If you haven&#8217;t been to Rizzo&#8217;s, come find out why many people (including me) have been raving about Michael Patrick&#8217;s food for more than a decade.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll try to be back at lunchtime or after work with a news post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A minor electrical fire closed Rizzo&#8217;s for several days last week.
