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

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…

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…

Momma's Bar

Ken's Food Find 12:15 PM

Deja Vu at the "Crow" A few months ago, I reviewed The Dirty Crow Inn that at the time was one of the newest acquisitions by Aldo Dean and his business partners. In it, I talked about the food and the bar itself as being a cool place to hang out while watching exc…

The Dirty Crow Inn (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 6:30 AM

A Lot To Crow About As a long time wings aficionado, it has always been my intention to stop by The Dirty Crow Inn to try the chicken wings that my friends have talked about. It's taken awhile to get there, mainly due to a combination of procrastination and the fact that…

Helping A Good Cause As you might have noticed (or not), I haven't blogged about anything this year. Well, that's not entirely true, for I have posted some thoughts on my "mini-blog" on Tumblr, along with a few tweets . Part of the reason for my absence i…

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…

Evelyn & Olive (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 9:52 PM

For A Special Lady It's been awhile since I posted my last review, due in large part to the illness and eventual passing of my mother. Her death left me a bit distraught and even now, I'm still not completely feeling it with the blog. However, on my Mom's birthday, I decided…

New Menu Items at The Flying Saucer

Ken's Food Find 1:18 PM

Steppin' Its Game Up NOTE: For those of you looking for the latest changes that the Flying Saucer made, including introducing its new burger menu, please read my review on my "mini-blog" on Tumblr. If you don't have time to check out my other blog (which …

Oshi Burger Bar (CLOSED)

Ken's Food Find 1:49 PM

Faux Gourmet? NOTE: The restaurant is now named "Oshi Asian Kitchen." Recently, another restaurant has entered the Memphis burger scene. Located on Main Street, Oshi Burger Bar serves hamburgers with an Asian flair. That alone would have been enough to warrant a …
