On the Hill

Posted on July 09, 2008
Recently, tried Fino?s on the Hill at 1853 madison. Thinking it was an Italian restaurant that was never open for real business, I?ve never tried the place. Drove by and noticed it was open (mb just not good at turning sign on).Went in and found a busy Italian grocery in the style of Central Grocery in New Orleans...

Just Lunches

Posted on June 30, 2008
Auntie came to town and I decided to try Just Lunch a new place where the old Elfo's used to be. A classic southern tea time lunch place the society wannabe crowd seemed to love with classics prepared at stiff prices. I started with the red bell pepper bisque which was thick and very good...

Dad came to town and we tried the new Blue Monkey on front. The place looks much bigger inside than out. Very nice. The menu is extensive for a bar.Had a very nice Hamburger dad was impressed with the twice baked potato which had some broccoli for flavor...

Arty

Posted on June 10, 2008
Recently finished arting up my living room. The crowning touch were 2 paintings I commissioned from a local Art student Willie Nelson a up and comer who specializes in portraits but did these for me. Willie told me to come up with an interesting marketable artist bio for him which is that he worked himself up from the streets after gang banging in Birmingham with the Tredgar Ironworkers and now has found Christ and is working himself through art school working as a soda jerk...

Masonic Munchies

Posted on May 06, 2008
Recently having joined Bartlett 211. I thought I'd review the fine food at the lodge. The first meal was hot dogs with chili. I have to give credit where due. They were fine hot dogs cooked until charred on the outside. Then there was the feast of the Holy Diabetes which consisted of three varieties of cookies, a cake, ice cream, a vegetable tray and peanut brittle...

Where have all the semi-decent politicians gone?

Posted on May 01, 2008
Recently, Obama admitted Reverend Wright was somewhat fringe? This disturbed me as its way past time such a statement would have any meaning. Politicians have become completely focused grouped. I worked on the first Nikki Tinker campaign some when I first got to Memphis and I don't think a non-scripted word or opinion about a politician came out of her mouth...

It Really is Time For A Change

Posted on March 31, 2008
The recent brew ha involving the wacko reverend has convinced me that Obama is the way to go. His clean cut image and Kennedyesque jib had me convinced he lacked the cuthroatedness necessary to be an effective politician. I was wrong. Obama is clearly capable of doing what it takes to win if the situation requires...

Exiting Gracefully

Posted on March 23, 2008
I visited Memphis alot before I moved here. Compared to twenty years ago, I do feel there has been alot of improvement. However, comedic interest aside, its time for someone new and the last ten years have seen the minimal amount of improvement. So congrats to the Mayor for stepping down, it was a class act and maybe that Prince Mongo guy will come back and run...

Retread

Posted on March 16, 2008
Went to City Grocery in Oxford with law clerk. The decor has gotten noticeably darker over the years. It had a nice lighter bistro thing going for awhile.Started with the gruyere mushroom poptart which looked exactly like a poptart and the dough was even poptartish...

Tapas and Waffles

Posted on March 06, 2008
Went to Dish with Aunt. Overall, not what I?d call a great tapas joint. There's one downtown next to Onyx that I have high hopes for soon to open. The Japanese ownership really shown through with a lot of asian influence. I?d recommend it for being a good place for drinks and appetizers, but I wouldn?t call it a tapas place...

Ed and Dave's Soul Train

Posted on February 25, 2008
Was conversing with Ed, my official black friend (I think I should give him a certificate along with my nemesis and law clerk, (some roles are still open) and he volunteered to do a collaborative post. Ed suggested soul food, though I was a bit taken aback Ed would be so cliche and given his urbane defense firm sophistication I doubted his qualifications to review soul food even if he is my official black friend...

ReCirca

Posted on February 19, 2008
I went to Circa twice for lunch. Its a nice place for a great hamburger and they have lunch size dessert portions. (Chocolate mousse cake was great and creme brulee is great too) I wrote a good bit on my solo practice book, the back room where there is an outlet is great for working and sipping espresso...

How to Lease a BMWRecently having undergone the difficult path of leasing a spiffy new BMW (Gray and even has a little fin), I thought I'd share a little guide.The first step is of course to decide if you want a BMW. There are many other fine models out there like audi, mercedes, and potentially lexus those I've always found those to lack headroom...

Everyday Italian

Posted on February 04, 2008
Recently finished a bit of a Veal Parmesan kick. Mother was in town to bum a ride to the airport so the before we went to Pa Pa Pia's a new Italian place downtown by parking is fun. The decor was first rate and the place seemed very cozy. Mother liked the decor...

Super Tuesday

Posted on January 28, 2008
Let's be straight. I dislike the idea of Hillary Clinton as president. She seems excessively thin, a bit dense, and lacks the confidence to say something without running it by her advisors.With super tuesday coming up, its a great exercise in self gratification for all Americans who feel like voting to think about who they're going to vote if they make it to the polls...

FInishing Up

Posted on January 20, 2008
Brunch at Tavern on the Green was memorable. Aunt brought her gay friends P and E who while not impressed with the place thought it was nice for P's birthday. The whole place had a sort of venerable cheesiness with faux elegance alot of the creature shaped topiary is fake from the 50's apparent throughout...

The Four Dollar Chestnut

The Four Dollar ChestnutWent to New York for a cancelled deposition as I already booked a Priceline room before learning of the cancellation.

Got to Hotel later and had pizza from a little caf� a few blocks down that was open late and had a variety of stuff...

Back in Indy

Posted on December 12, 2007
I have returned to Indianapolis for the third time. The generous plaintiff?s lawyer has agreed to pay the expenses of travel to this fine city so his clients can stay here and not come to Memphis and I get some reviews and see if I can avoid getting sick again...

Thanksgiving Ideas for Improvement

Posted on December 05, 2007
Headed home for Thanksgiving. Mother was out of town with dad visiting her mother who needed some assistance. Had cold Corky's turkey and a few string beans. The rest of the family had some storebought pie which I skipped as being insufficiently tempting for breaking the diet...

Movie ReviewBeowulf- Why did they do the stupid half animation. I love the poem with its archaic old english, but the animation makes it look cartoony. The dragon is overdone and straight out of fiction, in the poem it sounds like it might be some lizard looking beast...

Housing Woes

Posted on November 27, 2007
Even here in Memphis, the national mortgage mess has shockwaves. I hear people complaing the FED caused the mess by leaving the rate too low after 9/11 or that it raised rates too high afterwards.I think the FED is a non-story in this. Interest rates were and are quite low...

Downtown Steakery

Posted on November 25, 2007
Feeling like a steak and never having tried the Butcher Shop on the night of the Art Fest I decided to try it out. Entering I encountered the musty/slightly smelly atmosphere of a country steakhouse, which I found surprising having expected a more Folks Folesque feel to the place...

Who to Vote for In the Upcoming School Election

I'm voting for anyone from Thompson Hendrix, they're always nice people and helped me out with helpful tips when I was starting. Some of them are quite cute too.But in general its just like a school election. Its just going to be the cute popular outgoing people who win...

Daily Grind at the Daily Grill

Posted on October 28, 2007
Once upon a time, restaurants associated with hotel were strictly verboten. Prepackaged foods and an apparent lack of anyone actually tasting the food made them purveyors of at best tasteless overpriced grill. Recently, at the spiffy new Westin across from the Fedex Forum, the hotel restaurant called the Daily Grill has opened...
