Newk's, Coleman and Hopper

Had the opportunity to try Newk's restaurant in Cordova over the weekend. The atmosphere was nice and the menu was reasonably price. You feel the early McAlister's influence as you walk in and it is quickly confirmed when you see the menu. The grilled chicken sandwich with applewood bacon and honey mustard leaves much to be desired, but I'll give Newk's one more try to win me over.

Hollywood lost two legends over the weekend. Gary Coleman died after suffering a head injury and Dennis Hopper passed away after a battle with cancer. Many remember Coleman as Arnold from TV's Different Strokes. Here is one of Coleman performances from Dirty Work.



And Hopper's classic scene from True Romance.
