Like the salad, it is simple and delicious. It&#8217;s also inexpensive.<\/p>\n<p>The people at Oshi are all SO NICE. They all know me by name, even though I&#8217;ve only been in there a handful of times. They asked what I thought about about some weekly events and special events to get people in the place. Good things are coming soon. Minh told me he will be on WREG Live at 9 next Monday along with Deni Reilly of the Majestic Grille to talk about Downtown Dining Week.<\/p>\n<p>The folks at Oshi gave me one more piece of good news &#8211; they have PBR now. They know how to get me in there more often, by carrying the Cadillac of beers!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some more good news:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">OPEN for lunch today! 11am &#8211; 4pm.

The Grizzlies finally scored a hit with a draft pick. Good to see. This will be a rare week in the fall\/winter when FedExForum will not be hosting any basketball. The Grizzlies are on a road trip and the Tigers haven&#8217;t got into full swing yet.<\/p>\n<p>A new restaurant has arrived Downtown: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reginascajunkitchenllc\/\">Regina&#8217;s Cajun Kitchen.<\/a> It&#8217;s listed at 60 N.

Following the films there will be a discussion with women who love the Grizzlies and defy stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>The November Downtowners&#8217; bike to lunch happens tomorrow. Bikers can meet up at the Cossitt Library at 11:50 AM and then there will be a 15-minute ride to this month&#8217;s destination: Central BBQ. This is a Revolutions sponsored ride so helmets are required, and of course you&#8217;ll want to bring a lock too. Free to participate, although obviously you pay for your lunch.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;ll do it for now. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I stopped by Oshi Asian Kitchen for some sushi.
