First out came these great rolls with honey butter.

Then the entree! I had the pulled pork plate with cole slaw and baked beans. Its funny though b/c just up until recent i would NOT eat cole slaw - now i won't eat it unless its on top of something [ie: bbq or hot dog]

Saturday afternoon, we hit up Central BBQ for lunch. This was my favorite, by far!

Central was my favorite b/c not only was the bbq great - but my tea came in a plastic cup and i LOVE take-home plastic cups. lol Here are a few pics of the interior of Central BBQ.


Then out came my food and it was AWESOME. I ordered collard greens, mac n cheese and the pulled pork plate. SO GOOD! And i loved how they sprinkled the mac n cheese with paprika...ooh fancy mac n cheese!

Saturday night, we went to eat at the restuarant where Jenn works downtown, called Spindini. And i'm going to preface this with - "Holy crap! that place is expensive!" and this is coming from a girl who lives and goes out in Atlanta!

We both had salad. She had the caesar salad, but it wasn't a traditional caesar b/c it had an orange tinge to it - i believe it may have had some tomato something or other in it. I, on the otherhand, went for a classic wedge of lettuce with bleu cheese and bacon. This thing was HUGE and really very very good! I would definitely recommend it.

After that, we decided to split an entree. I wanted the manicotti, but Jenn wasn't feeling that so we split a good ole' standby - Chicken Parmesan.

It was very good too, but i couldn't help but feel that it had been beaten to death in the back. It was a very thin chicken parmesan. And i'm not saying i wanted this giant chicken breast, but maybe they could have not smooshed it so very much. All in all - it was very good, but i just can't justify the prices we paid - even with her employee discount...
So that's it for the food adventure part of Memphis! There was a lot of other things that went on, but drama isn't the name of this food blog! lol
Memphis is a nice city - but i'm SO glad to be back in Atlanta.
Recipe tomorrow! I don't know what i'm cooking yet for dinner, but i've got chicken thawing. So who knows!
