Prince's Hot Chicken

Chicken Royalty After years of wishing, I finally got the opportunity to get some genuine Nashville Hot Chicken from the place that started it all. Prince's Hot Chicken was founded by James Thornton Prince, a womanizer who pissed off his girlfriend so badly that she sought revenge by …

Crockett Grocery

Ken's Food Find 6:14 PM

Great Wings! This will be a brief take on "hot wings" that I had recently. They came from one of the most unlikely places in the Bluff City, a convenience store in North Memphis. Crockett Grocery has been around for as long as I can remember, although I never considered it a pl…

Riko's Kickin' Chicken

Ken's Food Find 12:41 PM

A Shout Out! I want to give a shout out to one of the best chicken joints in Memphis that most of its citizens have never heard of. Riko's has been around for several years yet is never mentioned in the media for its fried chicken. In fact, I don't believe most Midtowners know wha…

Mortimer's

Kickin' Chicken It's not often that I focus on one particular item when reviewing a restaurant, but I am really impressed with the chicken dishes at Gulf Coast-themed Mortimer's. Primarily, I love the chicken tenders that are heavenly good and a favorite when I dine at the res…

Going To "Court" In June of 2023, I went to Nashville to see one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Tori Amos. Seeing her perform was one of my life goals, a part of my "Operation Bucket List" that unfortunately was inspired by the death of Nanci Griffith. Unfortunatel…

Brickhouse Buffet

Ken's Food Find 7:49 PM

This Will Be Brief For the last review of 2020, I will write about a restaurant that one of my friends recommended. When I told him about my Dad and I going to the same places for breakfast every Saturday (Piccadilly, Cracker Barrel, IHOP), he recommended a buffet in Bartlett t…

Joes' Fried Chicken (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 9:44 PM

Simply Awesome! For a long time, my opinion of the top restaurants for fried chicken were (in descending order) Gus's , Uncle Lou's and The Four Way , although many Memphians might substitute Jack Pirtle's as its third choice (or Alcenia's, although I wasn…

Simple Fried Chicken Recipes

Ken's Food Find 4:28 PM

NOTE: The following is a recipe review that I posted on my Tumblr "mini" blog over two years ago. Unlike the other recipes that I have written about, I really like the fried chicken recipes that have become one of my favorite go-to meals when I'm cooking at home…

Biggest Chicken Drumsticks I Have Ever Seen!

Ken's Food Find 5:17 PM

Mind Boggling! Yesterday, I went to a Shell gas station on Summer Avenue at I-40 for quick takeout grub. I didn't give much thought in choosing the convenience store for lunch other than it being a quick in-and-out. With only thirty minutes for lunch during another "…

Hattie B's Hot Chicken

Ken's Food Find 10:30 AM

Hot Mess! During my latest visit to Nashville, I got around to eating some of the city's authentic cuisine. I want to stress the word "authentic" because my last experience fell short of that. A year and a half ago, I attended my first beer and food pairing at Downtown M…

Miss Polly's (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 6:00 PM

Waffling Opinion One of the benefits of working near Memphis’ Beale Street is having access to the assortment of touristy honky-tonk joints that mostly serve Barbecue, Cajun/Creole and Soul Food. Among this group is Miss Polly’s Soul City Cafe, whose signature dish is the Ch…
