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…

Memphis Toast

Ken's Food Find 1:08 PM

On The "Smokey" Frontier When you have a dream about your responsibilities as a food blogger, you know that you're been away from the game too long. That said, I had a weird dream where I was at a food "pop-up" that was in the middle of the Summer Center parking l…

Hugstables Sports Bar & Grill

Ken's Food Find 2:41 AM

Giving A Shout Out In the many years that I have blogged, I, an African-American, never acknowledged Memphis Black Restaurant Week (MBRW). I am a little embarrassed to admit this, for I have blogged about every other annual event in Memphis, with a few exceptions like MBRW. It isn't l…

Best Kept Secret (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 6:48 PM

Food For The "Soul" While on a "temping" assignment at another Family Dollar store, I got a chance to eat at a place that I've longed to review. Best Kept Secret has been on my radar for a while, but I never had the time to focus on. Prior to my &qu…

Roxie's Grocery (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 6:30 AM

The Burgers Are Really "Good!" Last weekend, I went to Roxie's Grocery for lunch. Initially, I intended to get the Uptown Burger based on Seth's review on Best Memphis Burger but changed my mind after seeing the menu. I chose the Mr. Good Burger ba…

Toarmina Grocery and Market

Ken's Food Find 7:00 PM

Out Of The Way Good On the advice of others, I decided to give Toarmina Grocery and Market in North Memphis a try. It's located on Chelsea Ave. near Watkins St., not exactly a place that Memphians seek out when looking for a lunch destination. That said, a lot of people …

Wingz N Thingz (CLOSED)

Good "hot" wings , everything else "OK" After spending a "Sunday Funday" afternoon at the Flying Saucer , I decided to go grab some take-out before heading home. After some deliberation, I decided against going to a typical fast food joint like M…

Hollywood Fish Market and Deli

Ken's Food Find 5:31 AM

Not My Cup of Tea After finally getting around to it, I made a stop to the Hollywood Fish Market and Deli to see what it was like. With "Fish Market" in the name, I thought the place would be more like Captain D's rather than say, a fish market. However, the sec…

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…

Gereny East African and Mediterranean (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 7:32 AM

Never Again! Last Saturday, I decided to visit Gereny again after reading the review in the August 5, 2010 edition of the Memphis Flyer. I assumed that things had improved since my last visit there, when I couldn't see a menu and the only food items offered were beef and…
