Chef Tam has announced the closure of her restaurant in The Edge as she moves on to new ventures. More from the CA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben-Yay\u2019s will have a Mardi Gras celebration this Tuesday from 6 to 9 pm. There will be a shrimp boil on the patio and The Mighty Souls Brassless Duo will play. No cover charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How appropriate that rain is in the forecast\u2026 today is National Umbrella Day. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blues Foundation is the subject of Action News 5\u2019s latest 5 Star Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Momma\u2019s and E&H made a list of The best 18 dive bars in Tennessee <\/a>. Worth a bookmark for when you visit other parts of the state. I still want to try those cheese curds at Momma\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brass Door will open at 8 Sunday morning for Arsenal vs. West Ham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Westy\u2019s has six-packs of Goldcrest 51 beer, originally brewed at the Tennessee Brewery in Memphis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memphis fact many of you might not know: Thomas Street north of Jackson Avenue connects to Danny Thomas Boulevard, but that stretch was NOT named for the actor\/comedian. Check maps from 100 years ago; Thomas Street appears, running through North Memphis and ending on the outskirts of Downtown. Danny Thomas would have been a child at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, take a walk or drive on that street north of Jackson sometime. You\u2019ll notice the street signs read THOMAS not DANNY THOMAS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grizzlies\u2019 GG Jackson became I the youngest player in NBA history <\/a>(19y53d) to score 25 or more points off the bench Thursday night. The previous record-holder? Kobe Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent my 5th night in a row at the Union Mission last night. Most popular phrase spoken among the guests there? \u201cY\u2019all some __________-ass motherfuckers.\u201d Fill in the blank with an adjective of your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back tomorrow with more news probably. The Super Bowl is tomorrow, a cause for celebration for me because it\u2019s the last time for 6 months I\u2019ll be bored by an NFL game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
