The Memphis Farmers Market was back and in full bloom yesterday morning. They had a number of new vendors as well as some returning favorites. Live musicians entertained the crowd. Food trucks were parked in the back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a Japanese bakery but they\u2019d sold out by the time I got there around 10:15.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was also a booth selling yummy-looking chocolate parfaits. I\u2019d already had breakfast, so I didn\u2019t buy one, but I will check those out in future weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Market used to send out an e-newsletter on Thursday mornings listing happenings that Saturday: special events and presentations, food trucks planning to be there. They\u2019d also profile a featured vendor each week. I miss the newsletter.<\/p>\n

Bardog changed up its brunch specials yesterday. They had<\/p>\n

A Monte Cristo sandwich\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

Chicken & waffles\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

Overnight French toast with berry compote and whipped cream\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

Southern fried pork chop with brown gravy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

Classic Eggs Benedict\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We got to try the French toast and it was delicious. Also, Butt Slut #1 said she tried the Monte Cristo last week and it was very good. Cheers to Bardog for a very-much-needed freshening-up of their brunch specials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
For those of you lamenting the lack of Butt Slut #1 news on the blog lately, she\u2019s getting a Buick SUV this week. My mother would have approved; she drove a LeSabre from 1990 to 1995.<\/p>\n
Bronny James, LeBron\u2019s son, has declared for the NBA draft.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s been speculated that LeBron will decline his player option with the Lakers and sign for the veteran\u2019s minimum salary with whatever team drafts Bronny. Bleacher Report has a list of Bronny\u2019s top landing spots<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t certain Bronny will go pro in 2024.\u00a0 <\/span>He\u2019s retaining his college eligibility. However, he\u2019s entered the transfer portal, so he\u2019s probably done at USC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Imagine this: Bronny transfers to the University of Memphis to play for Penny. LeBron signs a one-year contract with the Grizzlies to be near his son. There\u2019s about a 1 in 10,000 chance it\u2019ll happen, but it\u2019s fun to dream about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Iowa (with Caitlin Clark) vs. South Carolina (undefeated) for the NCAA women\u2019s basketball championship is today at 2 on ABC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Willie Moore\u2019s soul food restaurant on N. Main is hiring. It\u2019s said to be steady but not extremely hard work. 7 AM to 4 PM in the ground floor of the Claridge House.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The DM has a look back<\/a> at Grind City Music Fest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The DM visited Max\u2019s Sports Bar yesterday<\/a> for a look at spring crawfish. There is a shortage this year, making it hard for boils to turn a profit. Glaze Hardage\u2019s crawfish at Max\u2019s on Saturday and Loflin Yard on Sunday are the tastiest in town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Marc Gasol got his jersey retired but the Grizzlies lost to Philly by 20 yesterday. TANKS FOR THE MEMORIES\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Memphis 901 FC went down 2-0 in a home loss to Orange County yesterday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Shots were fired near FrdExForum<\/a> Friday night. Two men were detained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Be sure to pet a beaver tonight. It\u2019s International Beaver Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The city seeks a development manager<\/a> for Memphis parks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
There\u2019s a Self Care Sunday<\/a> event at South Main Artspace Lofts today.<\/p>\n
You almost didn\u2019t get a post today. The Wi-Fi was down where I am, but rebooting the router fixed it. Back tomorrow probably.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s free to read this blog, but I gratefully accept tips!\u00a0<\/em>
