Wine Dinner, Sliders In Midtown

Sorry that I missed what sounded like a tremendous wine dinner tonight. The dinner was located at River Oaks and featured dishes from Memphis chefs Jose Guiterrez of River Oaks, Kelly English of Restaurant Iris and Reinaldo Alfonso of Chez Philippe. Luckily this was the first of three wine dinners that this trio will prepare. Can't wait learn more about the next one.

The owners of Bardog are opening a new spot in Midtown. The new restaurant will be called The Slider Inn and it will be located on Peabody near the corner of Cooper. The name pretty much tells you what the restaurant specialty will be. Here's the big question, which will open first Adlo's Pizza Pies or The Slider Inn? After walking by Aldo's a couple of weeks ago, it looks like it has a long way to go before it is ready to open.
