They had nachos for $12. You could get them topped with Tavern chili, brown sugar beef brisket, or pastrami. &#8220;Which one should I get?&#8221; I asked Q.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The brown sugar brisket,&#8221; she replied.<\/p>\n<p>But for some reason I just wasn&#8217;t feeling brown sugar on nachos. &#8220;Other two,&#8221; I said to Q.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pastrami,&#8221; she advised, and that was my order.<\/p>\n<p>A big plate of nachos came out about 10 minutes later. At first I wasn&#8217;t sure it was pastrami. I always thought of pastrami as a thinly-sliced deli meat (and therefore was wondering how that was going to work on nachos) rather than the bite-sized hunks shown here. Q assured me it was pastrami, and sure enough, it was. I liked it. Something different than the traditional ground beef or chicken nachos (or, given that it&#8217;s Memphis, BBQ nachos) that you see many other places. Variety! The nachos are $12 and are big enough to share or to take leftovers home for a second snack later.<\/p>\n<p>On to the news&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/331605793889505\/\">Art 101.3<\/a> will happen at The 101, 101 S.
