Out and About Memphis 2-9-2015
So I’ve been working hard as hell due to the end of open
enrollment for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and I'm,
still recuperating from DreamFest5. And I be bullshittin. That’s just the truth lol anyway here we go…
Robata is open for lunch!
Im from the hood so I have a special love for Ramen noodles. Well this aint nothing like that lol. (
though if you order them thin and add extra noodles you can get a little
closer) but on a cold day it hits the spot as an untraditional alternative to
soup. I typically order mine in chicken
broth, with spinach, no pork. I can
take or leave the boiled egg that’s included..
warm, filling and right at 10 bucks, its one of my favorite lunch junts
right now although an extra packet of seasoning wouldn’t hurt.. but I guess not
getting hypertension is worth the lack of saltiness.. and it still plenty
flavorful.
Southern Hands has opened on Austin Peay near Don
Don’s. Meatloaf. Mac and Cheese. Sweet
potatoes. No its not healthy, and yes that’s a shitload of starch. They have other options. This is what I had and I have zero
regrets.. The Winchester location has my
heart.. but this is closer and it was delicious. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Southern-Hands-Restraurant/213994838753682?fref=ts
Filberto’s and Veli’s wings on Covington pike. You can get hot wings and tacos.. in a drive thru.
IN one spot. First of all. That’s enough right there. The wings are, for lack of a better word,
FI! I can do without the guacamole on
the tacos. And I added extra cheese to my carne asada fries. But trust me, those honey hot wings are
worth the drive. https://www.facebook.com/search/local/1431540157163099
What am I listening too:
Crisis 901 has released a joint project with Kingpin the composer titled
: Black Sun symphony. It’s a well done
project and my favorite.. “Strut” is an
infectious song that makes you do just
what the title says. https://soundcloud.com/itsdjxman/crisis901-strut
My Guys, Hippy Soul released their Tennessee Shinobi
project. I love these guys. Young, raw, and hungry; they embody what I think
hip hop is. The whole project is dope
but Oh Lord is still my favorite https://soundcloud.com/hippysoul901/sets/tennessee-shinobi
Southern Ave, a local blues band, has released a new single
that im digging titled “What did I do” featuring lead vocals by Tierinii
Jackson.. and a trombone appearance by one of my favorite musicians.. Suavo J! http://www.southernavenueband.com/#!music/d3w6u
There are several events that have me interested. Of course the Artistik Lounge featuring Candy
Fox is at the top of my list. Feb 21st. 1555 Madison Ave at 8pm.
10.00 admission. Candy has
amazing range and powerhouse vocals.. with a surprisingly soft touch https://www.facebook.com/events/1005833356121519/
But Before that occurs, Overton Square is doing their take
on Mardi Gras.. https://www.facebook.com/events/1521623301471738/
