| Cockadoos BBQ Omlet |
I finally had a chance to stop by Cockadoos a couple of weeks back. There were several breakfast options, including all the basics, catfish and grits and more. I went strong and selected the Memphis Bar-b-que Omelet, a three egg omelet stuffed with pulled pork and provolone cheese, topped with bar-b-que sauce. You can't go wrong with this choice.
Jim's Place has opened in East Memphis on the corner of Poplar and Perkins Extended. So far, I have only experienced the spacious, smoke-free bar. The bar was fun, with great bartenders and good crowd and even better drinks. May have to try the food at some point.
Staying out east, The Grove Grill is hosting an Aninori Family of Wines Dinner on Thursday, January 20 at 7:00pm. The dinner is $55 plus tax and tip. Reservations are recommended. Here's the menu:

This weekend will be of the three-day variety for most people to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. In addition the free museum day on Saturday, there is a good bit of fun stuff going on this weekend, including the Tigers and Grizzlies both playing at home and Walrus playing at the East Memphis Swanky's Taco Shop. There will also be cheap suds (99 cent Bud Light draft) at Kooky Canuck on Sunday.
