Kooky Canuck

Food That Makes You "Kooky" After blogging about a burger joint in North Memphis recently and comparing it to Kooky Canuck, I realized that I never actually written anything about the place. As a burger aficionado, I enjoy a nicely cooked ground beef patty on a bu…

Big Burger (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 1:39 PM

WOW! What a burger! Today, I d ecided to head over to Big Burger for lunch, and I had an awesome burger. I decided to go with the burger joint's namesake, the Big Burger, which consists of a 1/3 pound of ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. From tasting th…

Shang Hai (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 6:23 AM

Best Egg Rolls I Ever Had! The egg rolls at Shang Hai Oriental Restaurant are the best I ever had, although I'm not an expert on Chinese food. However, I have been to many Asian restaurants in Memphis and other parts of the United States (as well as my first visit to a …

Ken's Food Find 3:24 PM

Something for Everyone About every Thanksgiving , I usually treat myself to a hearty meal at a buffet in o ne of the casinos in Tunica, Mississippi. Most of the time, I prefer to go to the Village Square Buffet in the Horseshoe Casino that literally has something for every…

Cafe Eclectic

Ken's Food Find 6:16 AM

Service with a Personal Touch I have to give a "thumbs up" to Cafe Eclectic for excellent customer service. I'm specifically referring to the trouble I had in accessing the café's Wi-Fi service and a "tweet" I sent concerning my opinion of one of …

The Majestic Grille

Ken's Food Find 8:40 AM

Simply the Best! Of all the restaurants in Memphis, The Majestic Grille is by far my favorite restaurant, and I like it because of the great atmosphere, excellent service and the enormous variety of the menu. Among the many favorites that I like are the Shrimp and Scallop L…

The Pizza Shack (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 12:41 PM

Over-hyped, yet decent pizza For all the internet marketing that The Pizza Shack had done, I wanted to see if their pizzas lived up to the hype. To be fair, I wanted to try more than one of their pizzas so I could get a good sense of the pizzeria's quality. I set aside a…

Amoco Food Express

Ken's Food Find 2:30 PM

A Hidden Gem After reading a previous review on Yelp! , I decided to put in my "two cents" in. As far as gas stations/convenience stores go, I've seen better. While the place does look a little shabby and most of the products are dated, it's not the "Ho…

Thyme Bistro (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 8:22 AM

Not quite the hype After a bit of procrastination, I decided to dine at Thyme Bistro. The reviews I read on Urbanspoon were very flattering, which prompted me to see for myself. Although the restaurant is very nice and the management and waitstaff are very hospitable, the me…

The Flying Saucer Draught Emporium

Ken's Food Find 4:43 AM

Delicious Salads As some of you who follow me on Twitter know, I'm a regular at the Flying Saucer in Downtown Memphis. I go there mostly for the variety of beer that the bar offers. I rarely go to the Saucer for either lunch or dinner because the food is average, for t…

Texas de Brazil

Ken's Food Find 8:47 AM

Overwhelmingly Good! In celebrating my birthday last night at Texas de Brazil, I had a smorgasbord of meats and vegetables that more than satisfied my appetite. The dining experience is unique, for it's set up like a buffet but instead of serving yourself, it's a hybr…

Bardog Tavern

Ken's Food Find 9:40 AM

A well-deserved anniversary! Today's review is in honor of Bardog Tavern's second anniversary, which is well deserved for all the efforts that owner Aldo Demartino (aka Aldo Dean) and his staff have put into making the bar a success. Formerly a diner, Bardog is one of…
