From the road – Local On the Square

Madison Avenue is one of my favorite strips of asphalt in the effing world. It’s scattered with some of the oldest and dirtiest watering holes in which I’ve stepped foot. You’ll find your way to Overton Square at the corner of Cooper and Madison. My parents tell me this was the raddest place in Memphis in the 70′s and 80′s. Now it’s home to a new restaurant, Local on the Square.

Local on the Square is just what Midtown Memphis needed, a clean bar/restaurant with robust beer list and food menu. I’m no Michael Jackson or Anthony Bourdain but this place has it going on.

I ordered a Yazoo Rye Porter to wet the whistle. You know I try to stay gluten free but damn it’s tough knowing I am missing so many flavors in this world. I’m glad I ordered it because my tongue needed a good slapping.

As for my meal I got the Chorizo Bolognese and gouda grits with poached eggs. I had to literally write that down because there’s no way I’d remember that post holiday. The meal came in one of those baby skillets. I fucking love baby skillets. A couple poached eggs lay on top of grits covered in a red sauce. I dove in. The concoction was balanced. The egg yolks were runny and made the grits so gouda. You see what I did there… I’m no local anymore but The Local is a place you’ve got to visit. Be warned, they are proud of the food, but the quality and atmosphere is worth a trip.

Have a great place we should visit, let us know in the comments.

Eat local.

Hands down best taco in town

Leave a reply

I dream tacos. I calculate dollar value in terms of tacos, 1 taco = $1. Get it. I will own a taco truck in my life, possibly a taqueria. It will happen.

I’m really pleased to recommend Local Lime out in Promenade. You know I hate WLR but fuck it’s worth it.

I went 2 weeks ago and all expectations were met and exceeded. I was almost pissed how good this place was operated. Leave it to those bright mother fuckers behind Zaza’s and Big Orange to kill it!

I got chorizo tacos. Team, they were so good. I am used to chorizo being real greasy but I was told they strain it 4 times to eliminate grease. They topped the tacos with pineapple. Pretty noble imho.

Shewolf ordered scrimp tacos. They came out with black beans to die for. They got eaten.

My favorite part of the meal was the chips and salsa. You get 3 out of 5 choices on the salsa. We got green, 5 Chiles, and classic. #HYFR.

My advice is to go here early and often, engage a bro. Hats off Local Lime, the bar has been raised.

Stickyz Y’all

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, Sticky Fingerz Rock N Roll Chicken Shack is legit son.

Fried Chicken, tons of dipping sauces, and one of my favorite biscuits… that's what you get. Then the food engineers thought, "Hay you's guys, let's dump these chickenz in tortillas." they did it and it is awesome. They also roll great beer specials monthly, I'm talking $2 pints. Not BL and ML but craft beer.

If you want great fried chicken and good beer, take that ass to Stickyz. Downtown fool.

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

You're opinion is probably wrong but leave a comment anyway.

Prost Y’all

I’m pretty sure Prost means cheers. I could google that ish but I’m iPhone blogging and this 3G iP can’t multi task. You know what else? Prost is home to a nasty happy hour. Ya, it lasts until 7:30.

All draft beer is dirt cheap, like $2. Well cocktails on the low low too.

I was hating on the food. I shut up later when I boofed a bratwurst.

BBQ Nachos. I was told they use Whole Hog pulled pork. Yankee Doodle Andy was half impressed.

Boneless wings. My pussy roommate ordered them. Scared of bones face ass.

Clank went to pound town on this burger. This post sucks. I know. But there’s great stupid pics.

The Oyster Bar – Stift Station – Little Rock

1 Reply

In the words of Toby Keith, I love this Bar. Nestled on Markham at the intersection of Hillcrest and Stift Station is a duo of LR staples. Pizza D’s and the Oyster Bar. TC, AG, and I visited the Oyster Bar a few weeks ago, it was during the bad storms that led to all the flooding across the Midsouth.

Anyways, we needed grub and booze.

GrahamBitch went with the Fish Pasta Salad. I think it was Salmon, I can’t remember for sure. I can, however, remember that the dish was outstanding. I love eating at a restaurant with gals because you can always bet on getting a few bites off their plate. If a lady doesn’t share off her plate, I suggest you run in the opposite direction.

This leads us to TC’s meal of choice, a generous amount of grilled shrimp along skewers. Take note haters, Cole Slaw is present.I can attest that this dish was also dope.

Finally on to my dish which was Oysters on the Half Shell. I fucking love them. They apparently are aphrodisiacs. I really don’t need any help with the libido but hell, Oysters always hit the spot. Pile on the Horseradish and you got a happy dude. Hot Sauce involved with every bite.

I was prompted to pose for this. I swear. That is not how you are supposed to drink. BL Lime with a straw and gay face. FML I was setup. Thanks AG for snapping this gem.

Got any recommendations?

Send them our way.

Burger and Salad – Sticky Fingerz – Downtown

1 Reply

Classic Burger
Small portion of fries came out. Like the smallest I’ve ever seen at Sticky Fingerz. Probably the perfect portion as we are fat as fuck Americans. The burger must have been dope because my fellow patriot scarfed it down with 2 margs.

Boss Salad
Voodoo dressing
Comes with Turkey, Ham, smoked chicken and all the usual. Portion was huge. I was full after a Sam Adam’s Octoberfest and half the salad. Was not my favorite salad in town but I would get it again. Order it when you are hungry but want light.
