Fried chicken livers&#8230; YUM.  When I was a little boy KFC had chicken livers on their menu.  For a while I was scared of them, but my grandmother always got them, and after a while I tried one and liked it.  From then on I ordered livers as much as I ordered chicken.  Unfortunately, most people didn&#8217;t like livers as much as I did, and KFC removed them from the menu in the late &#8217;80s.  Since I&#8217;ve been in Memphis I&#8217;ve rarely seen them&#8230; I tried them at Pirtle&#8217;s one time and they were disgusting.  So I&#8217;m thrilled to see them on the Flying Fish menu&#8230; I have no doubt they&#8217;ll do chicken livers right.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a pic of the Billy Bass adoption center:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210075-715793.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210075-714464.jpg?w=840\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>If you don&#8217;t want your talking, singing Billy Bass plastic mounted fish anymore, you can bring it in and they&#8217;ll give you a free 3-piece filet basket.  I wonder if they&#8217;ll also take his cousin, Travis Trout?<\/p>\n<p>In the past I&#8217;ve thought that if I ever have a son, maybe I&#8217;ll name him Billy Bass Ryburn&#8230; so far I have yet to find a woman who&#8217;ll agree to that though.  No wonder I&#8217;m single.<\/p>\n<p>You can also bring in your fishing pictures and they&#8217;ll hang those on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>A few more pics:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210070-769961.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210070-767469.jpg?w=840\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210074-703987.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210074-702622.jpg?w=840\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210073-748570.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/P2210073-746119.jpg?w=840\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>That sign in the last pic says, &#8220;We love kids, but please keep yours at the table!  &#8230;Unattended kids will be given a shot of espresso and a free puppy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They have bottled beer in a refrigerator by the register&#8230; I didn&#8217;t count but I&#8217;d say about 15-20 varieties in all, domestics and the most popular imports.<\/p>\n<p>They have a patio section on which, much like sister restaurant The Flying Saucer, they open the windows when the weather&#8217;s nice for open-air dining.
