Sophorn Kuoy says you’ll want to check out the South Main area’s Hoot + Louise on Friday.
Month: July 2013

Hoot + Louise, one of South Main’s coolest boutiques and a personal favorite of mine, has created a series of pop-up shops featuring local artists and vendors. Owner Anna Avant seeks out some of her favorite local wares and wearables, and this Thursday she will host the incredible work of emerging artist/ceramicist Brit McDaniel of Paper & Clay.
McDaniel’s modern yet rustic style draws inspiration from classic American and Scandinavian mid-century design. You can take a peek at her latest collection on Etsy, but make sure to also come out to the event this Thursday, August 1st to see her collection in person and support Memphis’ local talent. See you there!

Balewa’s Ras Salad

A couple people mentioned to me that they like to stop by Balewa’s Vegan Gourmet to pick up the Ras Salad ($5.99) for a quick and easy meal.
Make that two meals … this salad is as filling as it is colorful. The base is salad greens topped with a trio of Balewa’s raw specialties. One scoop is always the 14- karrot gold, a carrot salad, the other two vary. With this order, it came with a scoop of the famous live burger (the pink) and Phyre, a live-sprouts salad with spirulina. All of it is topped with a healthy handful of sprouts, which adds a nutty flavor.
Just a note: Balewa’s is now closed on Mondays.
