Front<\/a>. That neighborhood, at one point referred to as &#8220;The Front Street Chicken District&#8221; due to the presence of Gus&#8217;s Fried Chicken, is hopping these days, with Old Dominick Distillery, The Gray Canary, Bar Ware and the juice bar next door, and many new apartments nearby.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if the block of Main between Gayoso and Peabody Place will become known as &#8220;The Main Street Chicken District&#8221; due to the presence of Chester&#8217;s truck stop fried chicken inside Bluefin? Probably not.<\/p>\n<p>Local chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman are once again <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialappeal.com\/story\/entertainment\/dining\/2020\/02\/26\/james-beard-award-semifinalists-memphis-chefs-andy-ticer-michael-hudman\/4883373002\/\">finalists<\/a> for the prestigious Beard Award.

Huh??? The Edge is nowhere near the riverfront. Yeah, but scroll down a bit, and you will see that the Design Review Board is hearing plans for Memphis Made Brewing Co.&#8217;s renovation of the Glass Factory building at 435 Madison. They plan on opening a second brewery and taproom there. The east side of the building faces The Ravine, the new urban park that will intersect The Edge from Union to Madison.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/109389767160140\/\">Adam McLelland<\/a> plays Loflin Yard tonight at 9.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/634971687273120\/\">The Rusty Pieces<\/a> play the Blind Bear tonight at 10.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/115701833120135\/?event_time_id=115701856453466\">RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race: Dine &amp; Drag Weekly Watch Party<\/a> comes to Atomic Rose tonight at 7.

Anecdotal evidence suggests &#8220;no&#8221; but I don&#8217;t have confirmation of that yet.
