Yesterday I was hanging out with my friend Steve, and he informed me of a hidden gem at a famous Downtown restaurant: the BBQ grilled cheese at The Rendezvous. I did some Googling this morning and found the recipe<\/a>. It sounds delicious! Basically it\u2019s white American, Gruyere, caramelized onions, Rendezvous BBQ rub and BBQ sauce on buttered Texas toast.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I posted a photo of Bardog\u2019s new brunch menu\u2026 one other thing I wanted to point out about it. On the dinner menu they have Bardog Poo Poo, their version of an appetizer platter (puu puu platter in Chinese restaurants). Two of the platter\u2019s components, egg rolls and crab Rangoons, had been available individually for a while as sort of hidden menu items. They proved popular enough that they\u2019re hidden no longer; they made the new brunch menu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In other Bardog news, Melissa will be working a happy hour shift behind the bar today. She hasn\u2019t got to bartend much since she became GM. Her shirt is 3-8 and happy hour proper is 5-7. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nine Thai sushi on Union is closed and the space is now available. Its location in Bartlett known as Thai Bistro is still open.<\/p>\n

Atomic Rose is closed this week as they replace their central cooling system. They promise to reopen Friday as the coldest bar in town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Underrated song I discovered via Shazam this weekend: \u201cAcross 110th Street\u201d by Bobby Womack. I think Momma\u2019s may have it in their jukebox.<\/p>\n

I was wrong about the benches in front of the Court Square hotels being the farthest south on the Main Street Mall following the removal of two benches in the Monroe-Union block. There\u2019s still a bench in front of Ben-Yay\u2019s on that block.<\/p>\n

The Flying Fish has daily specials:<\/p>\n

So does Automatic Slim\u2019s:<\/p>\n

Santi Aldama set a record for Spain<\/a> playing in the Paris Olympics: Six three-pointers in one game. Spain still lost to Australia, though.<\/p>\n

You may have heard of the NFL\u2019s Red Zone channel where you can catch the big moments in all the league\u2019s games in close-to-real-time. There\u2019s something similar for the Olympics: Gold Zone. It\u2019s on Peacock 6 AM to 4 PM Memphis time.<\/p>\n

UGH\u2026 the NFL preseason starts Thursday. Houston vs. Da Bearsssssss.<\/p>\n

University of Memphis fans rejoice: It\u2019s International Tiger Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also National Chicken Wing Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jesse and Noah Bellamy will have a record release party<\/a> at South Main Sounds Friday night.<\/p>\n

Beale Street Bears predicts the role<\/a> of each Grizzlies rookie.<\/p>\n

Memphis magazine\u2019s Ask Vance column looks back at Limbros Restaurant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all I have for now. Staying out tonight probably. Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n
