The University of Memphis has announced it will remain in the AAC<\/a> amid the rebirth of the Pac-12. Sigh… I get it, but it sucks to still be in a conference with bottom-feeders like Rice. Maybe the university declined the Pac-12 because they still think there’s a chance with the ACC or Big 12?<\/p>\n

\u201cGirl Dinner\u201d – shoestring fries, Caesar salad, dirty martini 20<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I love it that they\u2019re doing half orders of calamari. The full order is a lot of food – too much food for some people. <\/span><\/p>\n
My friend Jenn had the Girl Dinner last night and raved about it.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bardog also has a new late night menu 11 PM-1 AM every night: <\/span><\/p>\n
- Shoestring fries 4\/6<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  The CA has an inside look<\/a> at new restaurant The Archives Bar & Bistro inside Hotel Napoleon at Madison and B.B. King Blvd.<\/p>\n
  Avatar: The Last Airbender in Concert<\/a> comes to the Orpheum Wednesday.<\/p>\n
  Inland River Ports & Terminals has its annual conference<\/a> at the Renasant Convention Center today through Thursday.<\/p>\n
  The Grizzlies have released veteran backup point guard Derrick Rose from his contract. The release reportedly came at Rose\u2019s request and could open a regular roster spot for two-way PG Scottie Pippen Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n
  The DM reports that the City of Memphis wants to buy the Sheraton Hotel<\/a> for $22 million. So said Mayor Young in an interview yesterday. It is not unusual for large cities to own convention center hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n
  Edible Memphis profiled<\/a> Jessica and Nate Henssler recently. The couple moved here from Chicago in 2022. Nate is executive chef at Amelia Gene’s and Jessica is the restaurant’s general manager.<\/p>\n
  The CA looks<\/a> at the career of country music star Miranda Lambert. She plays AutoZone Park Saturday, returning live music to the ballpark after more than a decade.<\/p>\n
  The CA lists<\/a> the best places in Memphis to grab a non-alcoholic drink. Downtown restaurants include BarWare, Memphis Chess Club, Carolina Watershed, and Cocozza.<\/p>\n
  That’s the news for today. The formatting on this post may be weird because I started it on my phone. Back tomorrow with more.<\/p>\n
