'The Magic Bristle Theory'

NOT A THING! As a rule, I never blog about things unrelated to food (unless America's democracy is at stake). Whether it's about restaurants, recipes or even a bag of chips, if it's something related to digestion, I'm cool with writing about it. Even when I have an ulteri…

Wolf River Brisket Company

Ken's Food Find 8:37 AM

Welcome To Midtown (I Guess) During a past weekend, I made a stop at Wolf River Brisket Co.'s (or "Company") new Crosstown location for lunch. Although the restaurant chain has locations in Germantown (or is it Collierville?) and Olive Branch, I was glad to have …

Cook Out

Welcome to Memphis As you might have noticed, I haven't been blogging much this year. Because of other things that have been going on my life, Ken's Food Find has been a low priority. However, when I come across something that's exceptional, I'm blogging abou…

Alex's Tavern

Ken's Food Find 1:37 PM

Finally (Part 5) It has taken me a long time to do this, but I've finally gotten around to reviewing Alex's Tavern. The reason that it took so long is that I've never been sober enough to do it. In fact, I thought about making the subtitle "Doing It Sober" to poin…

Good Friends, Good Times I want to give a shout out to my friends on the Squeal Street BBQ Team. They were gracious hosts to me during this year's Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest (aka "BBQ Fest"). During the two nights that I visited (…

Maria's Cantina

Ken's Food Find 8:15 PM

For Old Time's Sake After months of procrastinating, I finally got around to visiting Maria's Cantina. My primary reason for venturing outside Memphis' city limits was to see someone from the past. One of the bartenders at Maria's is Meghan, a former Flying Sa…

My Weekend in Olive Branch

Ken's Food Find 8:00 PM

Because of a reduced work schedule at my primary job with the Memphis Grizzlies, I've done more "temp" work lately. Last month, my "temp" company sent me to Olive Branch, Mississippi to help install theater seating for a new Malco multiplex. While there,…

Alannah's Breakfast Kafé (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 8:00 AM

Another Breakfast Gem On a whim, I went to Alannah's Breakfast Kafé (formerly Cafe Napoleon ) to check out something that I've heard about. According to some, the cafe serves some of the best catfish in Downtown Memphis. That's a heady claim, considering the comp…
