My vote is for Dyer&#8217;s. The flavor is just second to none. It&#8217;s a pretty basic burger with two meat patties, two slices of American, pickle, mustard, and mayo, but Dyer&#8217;s has been brilliant at the basics for over 100 years and that&#8217;s good enough for me.<\/p>\n<p>Dyer&#8217;s needs to adjust its Facebook page, though. Its schedule lists it as being open 11 AM to 12 PM on Tuesdays. Um, that means it would be open a total of 1 hour. 12 PM is noon. As a result, they show &#8220;closed now&#8221; when they are actually open. For a business that relies heavily on tourists discovering them online, that&#8217;s not very good.<\/p>\n<p>Big game, big night for Memphis. Memphis 901 FC hosts Atlanta United 2 tonight at AutoZone Park at 7. This will be a nationally televised game on ESPNews and a chance for Memphis to show the world how much we have taken to our new pro soccer team.<\/p>\n<p>Catherine and Mary&#8217;s, in addition to their dinner menu, offers something called Maw Maw&#8217;s Table. This is a place that encourages sharing food family style as you would at your grandmother&#8217;s. Entrees currently served at Maw Maw&#8217;s Table include Bistecca Florentina and Soft Shell Crab.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies&#8217; chances to CONVEY THAT PICK <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/section\/sports\/article\/4366\/Grizzles-fall-in-Detroit-as-range-of-draft-lottery-outcomes-begins-to-narrow\">are not looking good<\/a> following last night&#8217;s loss to Detroit. It will take a Grizzlies win, a Dallas loss, and luck in a coin flip situation to finish ninth from the bottom. The Grizzlies could land as &#8220;high&#8221; as sixth from the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Almost Famous headlines the first Peabody rooftop party of the season tomorrow night. $15 cover (most weeks the cover will be $10). You can buy $150 VIP pass that gets you in the parties all season, and which comes with a lot of perks attached, including\u00a0VIP Lounge, special food and drink offerings in the VIP Lounge, valet parking, a Peabody gift bag, and a 20% discount in Chez Philippe, Capriccio Grill, and Peabody Deli &amp; Desserts throughout the 2019 Rooftop Party season.<\/p>\n<p>As your #1 source of news and information about The Edge District, I wanted to link to this article about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcollaborative.org\/business-features-1\/2019\/4\/9\/blue-leaf-hemp\">Blue Leaf Hemp<\/a>, a new store in the Shab Chic Marketplace at 607 Monroe.
