Not The Usual Lately, I've fallen into the routine of having Sunday brunch at "upscale" restaurants that serve excellent food in a cozy, "chill" environment. As someone who is about to turn sixty, I don't have the stamina to "party" by drinking and ea…

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 …

Fresh Gulf Shrimp (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 1:29 PM

Fresh Fry! As 2023 comes to a close, I wanted to recognize a company that has been supportive of this blog and the social media elements related to it. In Fresh Gulf Shrimp, the owners are one of KFF's best supporters on Instagram and Twitter (aka "X") , bolstering some of …

Bliss In A Bowl As you might have noticed, I haven't been blogging as much as I used to. Due to a combination of a lack of time and money (with heavy emphasis on the latter), my ability to blog is limited. Although my commitment isn't what it was, there are rare time…

"Where Are You From?"

Ken's Food Find 11:59 PM

From a "foreigner" Despite living in Memphis for most of my life, I feel like an outsider socially. Even among people who I have known for a long time, I find myself struggling to fit in. I believe part of the reason for that (other than my overall social ineptitude…

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,…

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…
