Where's the Beef?




Today i went to a burger spot that i'm quite fond of. It's LBOE or Last Burger on Earth to the fancy types lol. This burger spot is located in the heart of Midtown on Overton Square at 2021 Madison Ave. This is in a prime food spot on the Square. There seems to always be another great food spot to visit on the Square every day and this is one of the best! 
I'm always on a constant search for a better burger and Memphis offers a great selection. Of all the burgers I've had, LBOE is definitely in my top 5. I've visited about 3 times and I've never gotten the same burger and each time i'm more impressed than the last. Today was no different. 


Today i went with the Madison Melt. OMG!! It was incredible! The burger was cooked perfectly Medium Well and the toppings were amazing. Ham, bacon, sauteed onions, Cheddar !! HEAVEN on a bun!! speaking of bun, their ciabatta buns are the best ever. They aren't hard and are lightly toasted giving them a great little crunch. Paired with a bag of VooDoo chips and it was a perfect lunch. 


If you haven't tried LBOE, you are truly missing out on a tasty burger!

Monday Night Shenanigans

Got a case of the Mondays? Just got off from my long day wishing it was still the weekend? Well, extend that weekend by one half day and get your butt down to The Blind Bear Memphis! This is one of my favorite bars in the whole city and they have an incredible margarita Monday. It's literally the best place to be on Monday. 

The margaritas come in three different octanes You get to pick your poison here. Whether you go for the $4 regular or the $8 supreme, you won't be disappointed. One of the better margaritas that I've had in the city.


The Blind Bear is in an incredible location right on Main Street. The patio is perfect for people watching. It also features lots of nooks and crannies inside to lounge, an extensive bar, a great kitchen that open late, and a great staff. I've never had a bad experience here. They also have, what I like to call The Boom Boom Room behind the mirror at the bar😏😏. 


The Blind Bear is located at 119 S Main St right across from the Jolly Royal Furniture store. If you're in search of a great brunch spot, Blind Bear has you covered with their Hungry As A Bear Brunch on the weekends. Get the Chicken and Waffles! Thank me later. 

Get out and explore all the local food spots and bars in Memphis!

A lunch adventure on Summer Ave

I was invited to lunch by a good friend of mine. I was shocked that it was a place I've never been to before. He wanted to go to Elwood Shack and guaranteed that I would love it. 



I must say I was a bit disappointed in the looks of the place, but one thing that I've learned on my food adventures is the worst looking places usually have the best food. And this place did not disappoint at all! 


Fish taco(trout) was incredible! I'm not a big fan of fish but this was awesome. All the ingredients made my mouth feel like a disco. 


Next up was the Brisket taco and it was even better than the fish taco. It was the epitome of what unicorn tears might taste like lol. Is a food orgasm possible? If so, then this would be what it is like. 


Last up were the jerk chicken wings. I think the pic speaks for the taste. Awesome! They were also some of the biggest wings I've ever seen. Bionic chickens, maybe? Who cares! Get these bad boys! 


I have to give it to my friend on this spot. It is truly a diamond in the rough. It's located off Summer and Perkins but you'd be better off going to the Lowes parking lot to find it easier. I give this place 2 thumbs up. My only issue is that I don't have more thimbs to give it.

British Bingo Wednesday

Went to The Brass Door to play some British Bingo hosted by fellow kickball extraordinaire Diamond Dave. Had a great time. Good times with some great friends. Many ask what exactly British Bingo is and how it differs from American Bingo, it's played at a faster pace and it can get frustrating and exciting all in the span of 2 seconds. 
If you're looking for something new to do on a Wednesday at 730, try out The Brass Door. Also, the fish and chips were incredible.
