After a weekend of beautiful weather, it appears that rain is in the forecast for most of BBQ fest weekend. The lone exception is Thursday. A 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms is currently projected for Friday and Saturday. Rain won't slow most of the festival hard core fans, so there will still be plenty of fun to be had.
This week is also World Cocktail Week. Bars and restaurants around the country are celebrating by promoting better understanding and appreciation of the art of the cocktail and its history, and responsible drinking. As usual, Memphis is lagging behind. Come on Memphis bar and restaurant owners, get on the ball. If any bars are celebrating, please let us know.
