MPACT Week
Posted on March 28, 2009Thanks to Mpact my social / networking calender was jam packed this week. Tuesday there was a pretty full happy hour at on the borders. Fortunately I ordered margaritas when I came in cause they took thirty minutes to arrive. It was really crowded though which shocked me given the rainy dreary outside...

St. Patrick's Week
Posted on March 22, 2009Tried the Limmerick Ham sandwich lunch special at Majestic in honor of St. Patricks day. It was actually a notable ham sandwich, adding an egg spices everything up and dubliner cheese is really good stuff. Heard good things about the other specials that week...

Weekend
Posted on March 16, 2009Hmm, what did I do this weekend. Normally I try to shy away from narrative time based posts. Seems more diary like and overly personal. However, I'm short of ideas and I feel I should give Le Chardonay 1 more review before castigating them. Starting with Monday went to Silly Goose for their Depression era pricing happy hourw which also offers depression era cool drinks like manhattans and sidecars all for a dollar...

Hopping Napa
Posted on March 06, 2009Dad was in town Tuesday night, so I took advantage of the opportunity to try out that place you never goto in the back of the Sanderlin center Napa Cafe. The place was very very busy which surprised me given the state of the economy and no one else appeared to have a restaurant...

Little Tea Shop
Posted on March 02, 2009Much lauded place I've never tried downtown. The first time I went AC Wharton was present. Thought about asking if he wanted to be my new obf but decided against it, and after the last time I think if we try that again it will be in another city...
MPACT MEDIA FORUM
Posted on March 02, 2009Took some time on a Wednesday to go to an issue forum presented by MPACT memphis on how the media presents Memphis and if all Memphis suffers from is poor press which causes a vicious cycle of more poor press. I found the panel to be very well informed, but somewhat basic...
Exciting News
Posted on March 02, 2009As part of my integrated marketing strategies. Mymemphislawyer.blogspot.com is being rebranded www.mymemphisattorney.com to stop the confusion with my law firm website www.mymemphislawyer.com since that is overly complicated for a small percentage of my readership and requires too much explanation when I'm out drinking and telling people about my blog...
The Dow is Crashing
Posted on February 23, 2009I'm wondering what that means to Memphis. How much of the recent revitalization of downtown is due to the easy credit markets or the new construction out east? The counterpoint is that prices in Memphis really never got super inflated, except perhaps downtown to a certain extent...
More Bar Food
Posted on February 12, 2009Went to the cove. A neat bar with a nautical theme in a shady neighborhood for mpact memphis happy hour. Had the artichoke bacon goat cheese pizza which was very good which a thin crunchy yet still tender crust. Finished with oysters which everyone was getting that honestly were a bit off...
Good Golly Ms. Polly
Posted on February 01, 2009Good Golly Mrs. Polly Stumbled into the restaurant behind one of the smoked turkey leg storefronts on Beale. Was surprised though it was just a turkey leg front. Turned out to be a soul food fried chicken and Waffle place called Mrs. Pollys...
Random Musings
Posted on January 22, 2009Listened today on the radio briefly to commentary on how liberals were comparing Obama to Jesus Christ and engaging in idol worship as they tried to wipe out Christianity. The only prayer I say to Obama is for bankruptcy based mortgage modification having taken out a half page ad in the yellowbook for next year...
Choo Choo
Posted on January 13, 2009Reviewed the Tennessean on the Downtown Square in Collierville with a Highly Blond Associate (HBA). After circling the square several times trying to figure out where to enter the rail cars, I started with the seared Foie Gras Appetizer which was really good, perfectly seared and retaining a consistent duckiness without being overpowering...
Lavoro?s
Posted on January 08, 2009Lavoro?s Found a shockingly good cheap Italian place off Sycamore view at Summer www.lavorosmemphis.com . First time I was about to head for coffee and needed some food so I went into a fast foody type building looking to be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised which some great handbreaded cheesticks with a light breadcrumb breading that were delicious and possibly the best in Memphis...
Wow- Dow
Posted on November 20, 2008It looks like the Dow has set an under 8000 mark that's not a spike temporary low. I'm impressed, I honestly didn't think the economy was that bad or it could get that low on more than a panic basis.I've decided to start doing bankruptcies on an unrelated note.
I get served by LI
Posted on October 24, 2008Apparently critical reviews of Calhoun's are faux pas with LI'sVIA TEXT-LI- Did you just diss on calhoun's school house pizza? !!!:(DS - Yeah, I did you want to do something about it punk ?LI - Bring it... I love that pizza with $1.50 PBR, its so old school that its freshDS- HA, You got meLI - And Spindini is fabulous, the pricing is appropriate for quality of food, portion size, and overall dining experience...
Credit
Posted on October 23, 2008I have to give Spindini credit. I find the food solid but not the haute cuisine indicated by the pricing. I had the Elfo's special which consisted of a lightly sauced shrimp pasta dish for $24.00. The place still is always busy with a great atmosphere...
Texas State Fair
Posted on October 23, 2008Texas State Fair Recently attended the Texas State Fair off the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Dubious after an experience at the midsouth fair where I found funnel cakes PRE COOKED and stacked ready to go to taste bud deprived patrons, I was expecting the TX state fair to be slightly better but still not within the realms of gastronomic enlightenment...

The Ultimate Tort Reform!
Posted on August 19, 2008Frequently I hear complaints about how litigation cost is killing us. I think the solution lies in a simple step. Abolish the tort of negligence. Negligence is failure to exercise the duty of care that a reasonable person owes another. The problem is that definition has been stretched to accomodate any random slip-up...
Flowery
Posted on July 25, 2008Reviewed Restaurant Iris with a little Indian (LI). Located in a renovated older home located near Overton Park, Iris is the new restaurant of Chef Kelly English, formerly of N?Awlins at the Horseshoe. I had anointed N?Awlins as the best restaurant in the area early on...
Deja Venice
Posted on July 14, 2008Reviewed Old Venice Pizza company, an old standby from Oxford days that has opened a location in Memphis. Across from the Davis Kid Old Venice is located in an imposing building with few windows. The inside is quite nice, but a little spartan, with a soaring roof...
