New Mexico is pretty damn good Jerry! Dosent look appetizing at all, but tasty and cheap. Kind of in no mans land before you get to the interstate.

hey is that Middle eastern place still next to Goner Store?
at Gonerfest opening nite 2 years ago we had a great meal there and afterward we were standing on the corner trying to get my piece of shit Australian cell phone to work to call a taxi (it was our 2nd nite in the US) when the owner walked over to us and asked what the problem was and when I said I was trying to phone a taxi he said - "no problems I will drive you where you need to go" and he drove us right across town to our hotel!
and if that wasn't enough Msr Jeffery Evans drove us home on Sat nite after the show too!
I love the Memphis hospitality and can't wait to get back over there for Gonerfest this year.

Yesterday we went to Woodlands, the Indian place out at Hacks Cross. Seriously good. To eat there once is to never desire India Palace ever again.

They didn't close. They moved - now they are in the strip by Whole Foods off Poplar. Smoothies on one end, jewels on the other.

So I went to the BBQ Shop for the first time in awhile Saturday night (nothing against it, I just love Cozy and Payne's so much that anything else seems wrong). Had a large group of people with us, half locals and half out-of-towners, including a Commercial Appeal photographer, a guy who works for the Memphis Chamber, an Indie Memphis rep, and the guys who did that Dock Ellis LSD No-No video.
Food was good, but the service SUCKED. We were in by 8 pm, and granted it was a party of 10 or 12 folks, but they couldn't have been less happy to take care of us. They never offered us a chance to order a second round of beers, and the food took more than an hour to come out of the kitchen, and by then the waitstaff was chomping at the bit to get off work, so they just swept the floors around us and, except for frequent glares, ignored our table until they could whisk away our plates and run our credit cards. I had a friend meet us up there who wasn't eating or drinking, and they'd locked the door and ignored her until she called me on her cell phone to let her in.
I still tipped a little over 20 percent, but I'm not in a hurry to go back, and my point of being all name-droppy in the above paragraph is that there were some other folks there who wine and dine people all the time who probably won't return either.

That Dock Ellis video is the best thing that came out in any media last year! Must-see tv!

Vanelli's Deli in Germantown fucking rules.
It's an Italian Deli, but it's different from Fino's.
I might eat there every day this week, and I won't complain.
It's a strip mall or two past Saddle Creek on Farmington.
If you work where rich white people live, do yourself a favor.

Juicy Jim's pizza sucks. Terrible, greasy, nasty garbage. Fuck you, Flyer.

Best meatball sandwich in town!
My Grandmother came over from Italy at the age of 13...I know meatballs!!
Don't know where they get their bread but it rules!

Golden Coast on Germantown Parkway serves impressive Chinese food, and you can tell they used really good ingredients, with subtle sauces and seasonings.
Green Bamboo is as bland it's strip mall location would suggest.

I'm a rich white people, and I live about 1 mile from Vanelli's. The sandwiches are indeed great, but you don't need to be a rich white people to eat there.

Lavoro's Italian Restaurant in Bartlett. Located in an old KFC or something at the corner of Sycamore View and Summer. Entree's are Pete N Sam's quality (although Katherine swears the eggplant parmesan is the best she has ever had in a rest.) but the pizza is GREAT. Had dollar pints the night I went, too.

Also, looking forward to trying the Pakistani restaurant that currently resides inside what used to be the Day's Inn (site of a gun battle a few years ago?) Denny's at the Sycamore View/Macon intersection. Katherine wants to wait until we've got an evening with a clear schedule the next day.

Sam - when you say great pizza - who else in Memphis is close? MPC? Milanos? Exlines?
I'm looking for a nice NY slice, and I can't find it.
Hey - I know where that place is! I just never drop by.

Better than those 3. Do you like Hi-Tone pizza for a NY slice? What about the greasy Whole Foods slices? Their crust is pretty good when it's fresh.
Lavoro's is a little more interesting than HiTone... The Trolley Stop pizza is great, I'd say Lavoro's is up there with Trolley Stop. I also like Brooklyn Bridge pizza but it's too expensive.
But how bad can bad pizza be? Shit, if I'm telling you it's better than Exline's, Milano's or Garibaldi's then what have you got to lose?

Dont waste your time,money or bodily fluids at Pyramids(the pakistani joint). The last 2 times Ive been there the food was cold, terrible and gave me the worst shits I ever had...yes both times. Mark it off your list fast!

Brooklyn Bridge pizza is hands down the best in town to me, but it is a bit pricey and a ways out. Good crust, quality/fresh ingredients and nice size slices! Hi Tone is a close second and MPC is my default setting.

I still like Little Italy for a simple slice. Trolley Stop stuff is good without being "gourmet." Speaking of which, anyone gone back to Pizze (?) Stone more than once? Hmmm. Me, neither.

First (and last time) I went to Pizze Stone they were out of pizza dough.

I hate MPC and Exlines. Milanos is the closest to what I want - a big floppy thin slice that doesn't shatter when folded and isn't greasy as all hell.
Did the Hi-Tone give up on lunch? I've gone by recently and it's looked closed.

Yeah, they couldn't stay open from 11 am to 3am every day. Too long.
I like their pizza, too. And S Youngblood can cook!
