New Grisanti Restaurant, Memphis In The Rankings, Golf

Ronnie Grisanti will return to the restaurant scene at the end of June when he opens Ronnie Grisanti's Italian Restaurant in the Sheffield Antiques Mall in Collierville. Grisanti's most recent project was located inside Stella Marris (still not sure what he was thinking there).

Memphis recently earned a #6 ranking in the 10 Happiest Cities to Working list compiled by Forbes. The Bluff City came in just behind the #5 Washington, DC. San Jose was ranked #1.

In other rankings, Travel & Leisure readers ranked Memphis #14 in a ranking of "America's Best Burger Cities". Coming in at #1 was Providence, Rhode Island. Anytime burger rankings come out, I feel the need to throw out Top 5 ranking. Here's my latest for the Top 5 places to grab a burger in Memphis.

1. Belmont Grill
2. Earnestine & Hazel's
3. Sweet Grass Next Door
4. Huey's
5. Tops BBQ

The FedEx St. Jude Classic returns to Memphis this week at TPC Southwind. If you get out to the tournament on Sunday, try and wear seersucker.
