Tonica

A Taste Of Spain In an effort to seek out new experiences, I visited both locations of Tonica, a Spanish-themed restaurant known for its cocktails and sangrias. Both locations offer a relaxing atmosphere for people either clocking out from work or as a prelude to a night at the theater or…

Prince's Hot Chicken

Ken's Food Find 4:41 AM

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

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

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…

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…
