<\/a><\/p>\nI was on my way to the Farmers Market when I noticed the door to Earnestine & Hazel’s was ajar and onions were on the grill. Clarence was preparing onions for the day’s Soul Burgers. I decided to move the Farmers Market back on the agenda and lead off at E&H. Once I had a PBR in my hand, I turned my attention to the bar’s legendary jukebox.<\/p>\n
You know, the jukebox has 100 CDs which means there are about 1200-1300 songs to choose from, but it seems that the same tired old songs get played over and over again. I was determined to pick something different. The first CD I saw was Donna Summer’s Endless Summer<\/em>, and I decided it was time for a disco party!<\/p>\n From the Summer album I played “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff” (RIP Eddie Gilbert), and “Bad Girls.” I played “Upside Down” by Diana Ross, “Dancing Machine” by Michael Jackson, and “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5. From the Kool & the Gang CD I played “Fresh” and “It’s Too Hot” (a very appropriate song given yesterday’s blazing heat). I played some Aretha too although that technically doesn’t count as disco. A great Saturday morning! I still plan on Bardog being my main spot on Saturdays, but maybe once a month I’ll do the south loop and hit Earnestine and Hazel’s. Maybe the last Saturday of every month while the Farmers Market is in season.<\/p>\n Stop number two was Max’s Sports Bar, but I could only stay for a couple of PBRs. The Farmers Market was set to close at 1 and I had to get by there and check in on Swarm to defend my mayorship.<\/p>\n With an hour to kill before the BBQ meeting, I decided it was time to get something to eat. I walked south to Loflin Yard, where this happened.<\/p>\n “Can I go stand under the bridge, Paul?”<\/em><\/p>\n I should have known better than to take a troll to Loflin Yard. It’s her instinct to want to go do that. I wouldn’t let her though.<\/p>\n Her day improved when the salmon croquettes I ordered came out.<\/p>\n The troll likes foods that are the same color as her hair, so she was really excited about the greens. The salmon croquettes, available on Loflin’s brunch menu 10 to 3 and Saturday and Sunday, were excellent. They had my food out fast. I ordered a PBR and handed the bartender a 5 and he gave me three quarters back. $4.25 for a PBR?<\/p>\n After Loflin I walked over to South End for our BBQ debriefing meeting.<\/p>\n This was a wrap-up session, going over what worked and what did not. Of course, when you win 7th in Shoulder, you’re mostly going over what worked! We changed a board member’s title from Bar Manager to Quartermaster, but other than that there was no major news to report.<\/p>\n In the news: RAWK’n Grub has a new burger for the Memphis Flyer.<\/a> RAWK’n Grub has moved their operation inside the Citgo at 630 N. Highland, but don’t let the location stop you from trying their outstanding food.<\/p>\n Time for D-RANKS with B-RAD at Pontotoc Lounge. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday I got to enjoy one of the great smells of Memphis.
