Midtown's Cafe Society is having a couple of fun events next week. On Monday, local artist Patti Smith is having an art show/open house and wine tasting at the restaurant. Smith's art will be featured and there will be $5 samples of wine. A portion of the proceeds from the art and wine sales will be donated to the Memphis Food Bank.

| Gorgonzola Stuffed Filet at Cafe Society |
The fun continues at Cafe Society on Wednesday night at 6:30pm for a Corsair Artisan Spirits Tasting. $25 plus tax and tip will give you the opportunity to taste Triple Smoke Whiskey, Vanilla Bean Vodka, Spiced Rum & Gin-Head Style Gin. $5 small plates will be available as well.
Next time you are at Cafe Society, ask if the Gorgonzola Stuffed Filet is still on special. Great stuff!
In some less glamorous news, Midtown's Umai has closed after failing to pay taxes to the state of Tennessee. I never had the chance to go to Umai, but many people said that they had a good product.
Tickets are on sale now for Steve Martin's one night show at the Orpheum on Saturday, May 28, 2011. Martin may have some jokes up his sleeve, but the main focus of the evening will be his banjo playing skills. Should be a great night of banjos and bluegrass.
Here's a quick sampling of some of the sounds you may hear at Steve Martin's show.
On tonight's agenda, either checking out Robert Earl Keen at Minglewood or Walrus at Swanky's.
