Memphis Trip---A Success!!!

Well after a whirl wind weekend, what a blast!!! I adored Memphis, truly, madly, deeply! No blue suede shoes yet, but give me a few months. :-)

Okay, the most serious matter at hand was accomplished! We found a place to live! Thank you Uptown Square for offering an amazing deal on 3 bds! We snagged the last one available today! I loved the complex and feel we'll be very happy there. It's just barely on the outskirts of down town. So basically the last block of downtown is where we'll be. Which is perfect. We are 1 block from the trolley pick up. At a $1 per ride, very easily doable to go to a game or out to eat, or just listen to some live music.

Now back to Memphis, I am sure none of you care about the apartments, right???

The food is what you want to hear.

So our first grand dining experiance (now by grand I mean full of taste and wonderfullness) was Hueys. Wow. Those burgers were great. I savored every bite. Talk about delicious!!! It was dripping with deliciousness, litterally. We went to the oldest one. Dont ask me the street I dont remember.

Next off is Rendezvous. The crazy bar b que place in an alley!!! What fun! We got the normal Memphis appitizer, sausage and cheese! Then we waited our turn for our table. Seriously folks, this place is popular. You want to eat there on a Sat night?? You need to wait 2 hours for a table. But do it, it's fun and worth it! The food comes out fast. I mean seriously, they have ribs on the menu...people go to order ribs...so it's ready to role. It was fun. Not the absolute best ribs I have ever had, but well worth it.

Corky's was our stop for lunch the next day. Another bar b que joint. we made the mistake of going game day... THE game day. UofM against Ole Miss... THAT game day. OOPS. Never the less we did get a spot at the bar, got our pulled pork sandwhiches... YUM... and took our leave. After all, we dont live there JUST yet. So we left room at the bar to those who need the space to watch the game! Okay, so it was sooo good. I love pulled pork. I could eat it every freaking day. That place was good, but I still like Interstate Bar B Que, also out of Memphis, better. But it comes close.

That night we took a break from Bar B Que and went to a Thai Restaurant rated by trip advisor users as one of the top romantic restauants. It's in a bad area. In fact the sign on the front just says Thai. However it is called Chao Praya. It was amazing. Shawn and I love Thai and this place was exceptional. We even took a thai tea to go when we left. It's quaint and the chefs used to work for the royal family of Thailand. a must if you like Thai....

Our last stop at Memphis restaurants to mention is the Cheesecake Corner in downtown. Our wonderful hotel got us the shuttle there since the trolley doesnt run after 6 pm on Sundays. It's a very cute place. The two men working the counter were GREAT. They were fast and efficient. The cheesecake was wonderful. They really do put the famous Cheesecake Factory to shame! You cant beat the ambience!

We go back in a few more weeks. Our move is just 8 weeks away!!!
