Lots Of Food, Zac Brown

The Commercial Appeal had an great article late last week about the best hamburgers in Memphis. The writers were pretty much dead on with Alex's and did a good job bringing some lesser known burger hot spots to the mainstream. The article also has inspired a weekly Memphis burger tour. There goes the diet.

A couple of new places have finally opened after weeks of anticipation. Swanky's Taco Shop's newest location on Poplar near Colonial (old Atlanta Bread Company) and El Toro Loco on the corner of Poplar and Collins (old Los Compadres space) opened last week. The new Swanky's location will be perfect for a good burrito followed up by an ice cold beer at The Bobcat.

On a somewhat sad note, Overton Square's Le Chardonnay is closing after a 17 year run. Plans are to close the restaurant in a few weeks and quickly reopen as an Italian restaurant.

Tickets for the Zac Brown Band's show on Mud Island went on sale over the weekend. Not sure if they are still available, but get one if you can.
