Look, everybody, it’s a mangonada from Frutimania Raspados & Neveria …
It’s a mango slushie with chamoy sauce, chili pepper, and a tamarind candy straw. Interesting … savory, sweet … tangy …
If chili powder is not your thing, you can get it without.
This beauty is a pina loca.
Frutimania serves sno cones and ice cream, as well as some snacks like elote and nachos.

Has there ever been a more hated foodstuff than gluten?
The proliferation of gluten-free pizza on local menus is indicative of this ill will held by celiacs and gluten-intolerants alike. Heck, some people choose to be gluten-free (GF) just because they can! This is America after all.
When it comes to deciding who has the best gluten-free pizza in town, it’s a hard thing to judge. Andria Brown, who was diagnosed with celiac disease a couple of years ago, explains, “Non-GF people just shouldn’t eat it, and GF people’s opinions vary depending on how long it’s been since they had real pizza. In general, the thinner, crispier crusts are better because they’re not trying to be soft and chewy.”
Leigh Espy, who is gluten-intolerant, agrees. “Gluten-free crust is not the same — you don’t get that lovely chewy texture, but I’ve always preferred the thin, crispy crust anyway.”
Of course, depending on how much you hate gluten (and how much it hates you), cross-contamination factors must be considered as well. Here’s an overview of your current options:
Mellow Mushroom
Annica Kreider, VP of brand development, says Mellow Mushroom began offering gluten-free crust several years ago as a result of requests from guests who were no longer able to enjoy pizza. It is celiac-safe. ”We pride ourselves on this aspect of our program. Our cooks have been trained on the importance of preventing cross-contamination,” Kreider says. The kitchen staff will wash their hands, put on fresh gloves and a fresh apron, and only use gluten-free dedicated cooking utensils and ingredients. Everything is made to order and prepared in a separate area. A screen pan is used during the baking process so the gluten-free crust never makes direct contact with the pizza stone. ”While realizing that a gluten-free crust would likely never taste the same as our signature Mellow dough, our goal was to deliver a flavor profile that was just as delicious as our regular crust for the gluten-free audience,” explains Kreider.
It has totally different ingredients from the regular crust, which is thicker. “A combination of ancient grains really gives it a delicious and hearty flavor, and it crisps up very nicely. We also were able to make it vegan in the reformulation,” she says.
The crust is very popular, thanks to a dedicated marketing campaign.
Rock’n Dough Pizza Co.
Amanda Denno says at Rock’n Dough they had a substantial customer demand for a gluten-free and/or low-carb option. “Some people simply preferred to eat low-carb, and other people needed to avoid gluten due to dietary sensitivities or gluten allergies,” she says.
They use a pizza crust mix from local Memphis company Nourishe and prepare it in-house. The crust mix itself is 100-percent gluten-free, however, Rock’n Dough prepares this dough mix in a kitchen where flour containing gluten is heavily used. Steps they take to minimize gluten cross-contamination include storing it separately from other ingredients in a sealed container and preparing the gluten- and grain-sensitive dough at different times than gluten-containing dough.
“We take care to minimize cross-contamination, but it is possible that small amounts of gluten do get incorporated. For this reason, we cannot guarantee the crust we serve in the restaurant is 100 percent gluten free,” Denno says. This pizza crust is therefore not suitable for people with severe gluten allergies or reactions. It is listed as “gluten- and grain-sensitive” on the menu, and they train their staff to discuss the possibility of cross-contamination with their guests so they can be fully informed.
Denno says the crust tastes great. It contains nut, seed, and root vegetable flours and is naturally free from gluten, grains, and soy. It is also lower in carbohydrates than many other gluten-free products and is Paleo-diet friendly. “Nourishe specializes in great-tasting gluten-free products, and we specialize in great pizza — when you combine them, it is the best!” she says.
Rock’n Dough does not currently offer gluten-free on their food truck, but they do offer it for private catering events, where the menu is decided prior to the event.
Pyro’s Fire Fresh Pizza
Co-owner Chad Foreman says Pyro’s offers a gluten-free crust that many guests, both those with celiac disease and those just wanting to minimize gluten in their diets, really like. “Our gluten-free crust is made with rice flour, and we offer to cook it in a pan for our more sensitive guests,” he says.
However, they do not offer a 100-percent gluten-free experience. “We do not recommend any of our products for individuals that are extremely sensitive. Since we make our signature thin crust in-house everyday with flour and semolina, our restaurant has gluten particles everywhere, which makes cross-contamination virtually impossible to avoid,” Foreman explains. This cross-contamination means that although their rice-based crust is gluten-free, most of the toppings and the oven they cook it in are not gluten-free.
Guests are pleasantly surprised by how light and airy the crust is.
Russo’s New York Pizzeria
Chef Anthony Russo spent two years perfecting the recipe for his gluten-free crust. The secret is that it is bound together with honey and a Sicilian olive oil made specifically for Russo’s.
Jackson Lewis, the franchise’s PR representative, says there is a serious need for great-tasting gluten-free options, and because of this, Russo’s offers guests an entirely gluten-free menu. Additionally, the retail version of the gluten-free pizza is sold in 3,000 grocery stores across the United States.
Local franchise owner, Brett Steiner, says to prevent cross-contamination in the Germantown store, they keep the pizza crust in a separate cooler and change their gloves prior to making the order. The crust is very popular. They sell at least 50 a week.
Hog & Hominy
Hog & Hominy makes its gluten-free dough in-house. For a $3 upcharge, all pizzas on the menu can be made gluten-free. They keep the dough separate and roll it separately, but it isn’t guaranteed to be 100-percent safe for celiacs because regular flour is used throughout the kitchen.
Ciao Bella
Ciao Bella orders a gluten-free, pre-baked, 12-inch crust from a company in New Jersey called Conte’s Pasta through their specialty foods distributor. It is prepared with separate utensils, but it is prepared in the same pizza station as the rest of the pizzas and cooked and in the same pizza oven as everything else.
Memphis Pizza Cafe
MPC also orders a frozen gluten-free crust. Like Ciao Bella, they use separate utensils, but it is prepared and cooked in the same station/oven as regular pies.
Chuck E. Cheese’s
Chuck E. Cheese’s has a gluten-free pizza that comes in a sealed, oven-safe bag. It isn’t opened until it gets to the table, and a one-time-use pizza cutter is provided. It’s celiac safe, but rumor has it, not very tasty!
I haven’t had a chance to see Germantown Community Theatre’s production of Ring of Fire, yet, and it’s killing me a little. Jukebox musicals aren’t usually my thing, but I’m an enormous Johnny Cash fan, only a step or two away from being an outright tribute artist. Moreover, Cash’s love of American song tradition puts him in direct alignment with his in-laws, A.P. and Maybelle Carter, who found their songs by scouring the countryside like natural-born musicologists, asking people to share the tunes they grew up with. The music doesn’t belong to anybody, it belongs to everybody. And while Cash’s booming baritone may have defined them, these songs were intended to be passed along.
The thing about, Ring of Fire: It doesn’t tell the Johnny Cash story. It uses his songs to reflect ordinary life experiences. That sounds like a more fitting, less exploitive way to treat the Man in Black’s complicated legacy.
A Preview of ‘Ring of Fire’ at Germantown Community Theater
Knowing I was going to see the show this week I re-read the obituary I wrote for Cash when he passed in 2003. And I thought I might re-share it for this community, because I think it speaks to the qualities that make this approach to the material make so much sense. Also, I’ve linked many of the songs that appear in Ring of Fire. It’s a pretty good playlist, whether you’re a Cash neophyte or an enormous fan who knows every word by heart.
Anyway, the following reprint links every song in Ring of Fire and just a handful more. If it doesn’t whet your whistle for some JC, your whistle is unwhettable.
He Walked the LineJohnny Cash was uncompromising, unafraid, and unbeatable.
BY CHRIS DAVIS (2003)
“Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.” For close to 50 years those four words brought audiences screaming to their feet. Alas, no more. Death has finally claimed “The Man in Black,” whose appeal was universal and whose body of work, when all is said and done, may turn out to be more influential than Elvis‘. Unlike the King of Rock-and-Roll, who died young, leaving a beautiful corpse, Cash’s longevity worked in his favor — a rare thing in the youth-obsessed world of popular music. He gave us something special: a voice that speaks not to one particular generation or time but to each of the seven ages of man. His artistry was matched in equal measure by an uncompromising sense of justice and an indomitable faith in the ultimate triumph of good over evil. But his faith was tempered with reality and could be fiercely critical of the world — and the industry he worked in — without ever lapsing into bitterness or cynicism.
Johnny Cash had a deep voice, a booming voice, but it was ragged and it could go flat in a hurry. A critic once said that the late Waylon Jennings proved he had balls by singing like someone was squeezing them in a vice. The same was true of Cash. But that big clumsy voice could express more emotion in a single syllable than most singers can wring from an entire song. When Cash sang gospel he could make the staunchest atheist long to believe, because sin never seemed more palpable and salvation never so necessary. And Cash, whose own failures of the flesh were well chronicled, could make believers tremble in awesome certainty of God’s all-knowing might. When he sang that crazy hillbilly boogie that made Sun Records famous, his touch could be astonishingly light, his voice as sweet as brown sugar melting in a skillet. When he sang traditional country, he assumed the role of an epic storyteller, reminding us of disasters both natural (“Five Feet High and Rising“) and man-made (“San Quentin“). He was equally gifted in comedy (“A Boy Named Sue“) and tragedy (“Long Black Veil“).
His big voice wavered — first from the weight of total honesty, later with the effects of disease — but it never stopped. Musical styles sprang up and burned out, but Cash kept singing the traditional American music he loved. Addiction couldn’t stop the songs. Hard times couldn’t keep him down. And most important, in spite of the fame that came his way, he never stopped singing for the “poor and the beaten down, living on the hopeless, hungry side of town.”
When the 1960s exploded in a kaleidoscope of psychedelic colors, Johnny Cash went into mourning and donned a solemn suit of solid black. He was sympathetic to the hippie protesters who took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam, to the call for an end to segregation, and to meaningful social change in his beloved land of liberty. But he refused to grow his hair beyond his shoulders like the other country outlaws of his era. He didn’t put on a paisley shirt and a peace-sign pendant or dress up in red, white, and blue. He likewise rejected the rhinestone-studded Nudie suits that were de rigueur for honky-tonk heroes of Cash’s pedigree. Instead, he became “The Man in Black”: a man who lived in a constant state of protest.
If nothing else, it was one hell of a gimmick. Cash owns black like Coke owns red. But it was more than that. Nothing about Cash was ever insincere. In “The Ballad of Ira Hayes,” he tells the true story of a poor Pima Indian who became a war hero only to die drunk and abandoned in an America that had little use for redskins, or brownskins, or blackskins, or any skin that wasn’t pale. In “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” he sings about a man’s day-to-day struggles with addiction and profound loneliness. In his over-the-top cover of Leonard Cohen’s “The Mercy Seat,” he addresses the awfulness of capital punishment. And this is just scratching the surface. Cash’s body of work, taken as a whole, serves as an astute critique of the modern American condition.
Of course, Cash’s tunes aren’t all gloom and doom. “Ring of Fire,” a song penned by his wife June Carter Cash (with Merle Travis), describes the utter helplessness that is part and parcel of love in full bloom. “Jackson,” an up-tempo duet with June, tells the rollicking tale of what happens to youngsters when the fire of lust turns cold after the wedding and wandering eyes turn to wandering ways. And then there are novelty songs like “One Piece at a Time,” which tells the story of an autoworker who can’t afford to buy the product he makes so, one piece at a time, he smuggles a Cadillac out of the factory in his lunch box. On the surface it seems like a harmless goof, but it speaks directly to the humbling absurdities of working class life: The worker’s “brand-new” Cadillac is a hodgepodge of makes and models, with a single tailfin, two headlights on one side, and one on the other. It’s a loving metaphor for the cobbled-together life of America’s resourceful working class.
In later years, as Cash performed songs by punk/metal maestro Glenn Danzig and covered tunes by Nine Inch Nails, it seemed as though his image was being exploited. The man who wore black on principle was being marketed to kids who wore black because they thought it was cool. But regardless of the motive, each of Cash’s American recordings brought him a small army of new fans — without the benefit of extensive radio play or the support of the Nashville music industry.
“Oh I’d love to wear a rainbow every day,” Cash sings in his signature song, “Man in Black.” “And tell the world that everything’s okay. But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back. Till things are brighter, I’m the man in black.”
We can only hope that Cash is finally in that “better place” he sang about with such conviction — wearing a coat of many colors.
A portion of a mural on a flood wall at the proposed Chelsea Greenline’s trail head
A handful of North Memphis residents aren’t thrilled with the city’s plan to reuse the abandoned Union-Pacific rail line along Chelsea Avenue for a rails-to-trails project.
The city held a public meeting at the Dave Wells Community Center Monday night to gather comments about the Chelsea Greenline, a 2.5-mile proposed off-road bicycle and walking trail that would run along an abandoned rail line from Evergreen and Chelsea to Washington Park in Uptown. It would eventually connect with the planned Wolf River Greenway.
A few residents spoke up with concerns. Chief among those was a feeling of being left out of the planning process. Resident Betty Tyler told city officials that she’d heard from “elders” in the neighborhood that they were just now hearing about the Chelsea Avenue Greenline plan, even though the Greater Memphis Greenline organization has been talking about and planning the trail for several years. She proposed more public meetings to gather input from the community.
North Memphis resident Carnita Atwater said she was worried about the safety of people riding their bicycles through the area.
“The innocent people who are going to be riding their bicycles on the Greenline,” Atwater said. “I hope y’all give some serious thought to the cameras or whatever because the police can’t be everywhere. I know for a fact because I have a daily relationship with the gang members in the area. And they will be waiting. Don’t let innocent people go into an environment that they don’t know anything about. I live there.”
Landscape architect Ritchie Smith from Ritchie Smith & Associates, who is responsible for the trail’s design, said they are talking with the Memphis Police Department about installing cameras that would feed into the Real-Time Crime Center. Two police officers — one from Crump Station and one from the South Main precinct — were on-hand at the meeting, and they said trail users could expect a heavier police presence along the trail.
But one man in attendance said he wasn’t comfortable with police cameras, which he referred to as “Big Brother,” in his neighborhood. He expressed fears about gentrification from rising property values around the trail. And he worried that the trail would lead to more corporate development in the neighborhood.
“People are just going about their normal life, and you drop a big spotlight on top of that,” he said. “I don’t want a Starbucks. I want a Joe’s Coffee that’s owned by a black guy who lives in North Memphis.”
Eighty percent of the project will be funded by federal monies distributed through the Tennessee Department of Transportation, and the other 20 percent will come from the city of Memphis. The project is currently in an environmental assessment phase, which TDOT requires, and part of that phase includes a public comment period. The city will accept comments and concerns about the project until November 16th.
The city and the Greater Memphis Greenline organization will be working to obtain right-of-way from the Union-Pacific railroad in 2016 and 2017. The trail will go into a design phase in 2016, and construction should begin in 2017.
Earlier this year, more than 50 artists painted a mural along the flood wall near where the trail head at Evergreen will be. Smith said, once design is complete, there will likely be a parking lot added to the area near that wall.
My dearest Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston),
It is with heavy heart that I must inform you that I, your wife, am leaving your ancestral home of Allerdale Hall, aka Crimson Peak, and filing for divorce. This may come as a shock to you, but I now think the dissolution of our relationship was inevitable from the start. Maybe when my mother came back from the grave as a hideous ghost and hissed “Beware of Crimson Peak!”, I should have listened to her. Maybe I should have noticed that you look and act just like the evil Norse trickster god Loki. Maybe I missed another opportunity to avert relationship disaster when my rich father Carter Cushing (Jim Beaver) tried to bribe you into leaving the country. But he was such a terrible actor that I was almost relieved when he died under mysterious circumstances. And besides, you needed his considerable fortune to finish the construction of your steampunk machine that will bring the red clay mines underneath your estate back to profitability.
Mia Wasikowska in Crimson Peak
Come to think of it, the weird scheme to create an automated clay-mining machine should have been another red flag. Is there really a huge market for gooey red clay that looks like fake blood? Maybe you could have put that money into fixing up the house instead. I mean, come on. There’s a giant hole in the roof where the rain and snow come in and cascade down into the central stairwell. Sure, it makes for a dramatic scene, and the soft snowdrift did save my life when your sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain) tried to kill me, but it’s way past time to put a tarp on it. Between that, the walls that drip blood all the time, and the small army of ghosts that roam the halls (but never have much of an effect on the plot), my lawyer is going to have no trouble convincing the judge that you are forcing me to live in unacceptable conditions.
And then there’s your sister. Lucille is always smiling and courteous to my face, but I get the sense that she’s plotting against me. Perhaps it’s because of the similarities between our relationship and the one between Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains’ mother in the 1946 Alfred Hitchcock film Notorious, what with the poison in the tea and the purloined key and the basement full of secrets and whatnot. But the year is 1901, which means Hitch is just 2 years old and films with actual plots are only now being invented, so you can understand how I would have missed those particular red flags. I guess you live and learn.
I admit I share some of the blame for this fiasco. I guess I was blinded by the splendor of all those puffy-sleeved silk organza nightgowns and crushed velvet top hats. But frankly, my dear Thomas, there are so many holes in our story, I just don’t think it’s salvageable. So we must go our separate ways and hope that next time, director Guillermo del Toro can conjure up a more coherent world for us to live in.
Yours,
Edith Cushing Sharpe (Mia Wasikowska)
For the next eight months, a coalition of women’s healthcare advocacy groups will be doing everything they can to ensure that SB 1391 — labeled the “Tennessee Pregnancy Criminalization Law” by its opponents — will ride into its sunset of expiration without any further legislative action.
The law, which allows women to be charged with assault for using illegal substances during pregnancy, was written in response to Tennessee’s rapidly increasing problem with infants born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), which causes treatable, but painful, withdrawal symptoms in infants born to mothers who have abused substances during their pregnancy.
In an unusual move for a criminal statute, the bill included a sunset provision of two years. So the law, which went into effect last July, is set to expire in July 2016. At that time, legislators can consider whether or not to pass a more permanent version of the law.
While the intention of the law may have been to discourage expecting mothers from using addictive substances, some advocates and healthcare professionals insist that the law will tear families apart and criminalize already vulnerable mothers.
“In a lot of spheres, addiction is seen as a health issue, as a disease. But, now if you have a woman who is pregnant, all of the sudden she’s a criminal,” said Allison Glass, the state director for Healthy and Free Tennessee, a nonprofit coalition of groups dedicated to sexual health and reproductive issues.
On October 15th, Healthy and Free Tennessee, along with several coalition partners, met at the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center to discuss their concern with the pregnancy criminalization law, as well as strategies to ensure its expiration. Memphis was one of five of the coalition’s stops across the state.
According to Glass, the law was written vaguely. Whether or not a mother is reported for her infant testing positive for illegal substances is up the discretion of the healthcare provider.
Further complicating the matter, the law was passed on the heels of the Safe Harbor Act, a piece of legislation designed to protect mothers from prosecution if they seek help for substance abuse of legally prescribed drugs. This means the difference between the possibility of treatment and the threat of jail lies in not only the type of drug but whether or not it was prescribed to the mother.
“We have a really imbalanced way of dealing with this issue,” Glass said. “It creates a second class of people who are pregnant.”
The Tennessee Department of Health began tracking reported cases of NAS in 2013. In the years since, more than half of all reported cases were caused by substances prescribed by the mother’s doctor.
Exactly how many Tennessee residents support, or even know about the law, is unclear. Glass believes that educating the public will be key to ensuring the law expires on its sunset date of July 1, 2016.
“We’re trying to help educate folks. It’s an incredibly complex issue. What we’re saying also is that medical experts, people in public health, and people who are experts in treatment facilities … those are the people who need to come together and think about what needs to happen to solve the problem,” Glass said. “This is not a place for our legislators to be passing a law and certainly not through the criminal justice system.”
A new event took place at the Memphis Botanic Garden this year, and it was all about the best pork and brews! Porktoberfest is the joining together of Oktoberfest (a celebration of beer) and a celebration of food that Memphis is well known for… pork!! Gates opened at 11 am and the event went till 6 pm.
Here’s a list of some of the Mid-South’s favorite restaurants that were on-site. Every sample had some type of pork dish.
1. Tart – Pork Rillette with Mango Salsa on Crustinis
2. BGR The Burger Joint – Onion Bacon Jam Sliders and Bacon Cheese Sliders
3. Ridgeway Country Club – Wild Boar Bolognese
4. Corky’s – BBQ Pork Nachos

12. Miss Polly’s – BBQ Spaghetti
13. Agave Maria – Pork Carnitas Tostada
14. Fuel Café – Sweet Potato Bacon Phyllo Cup
15. The Brass Door – Bavarian Style Bacon and Cabbage with Pulled Pork McFadden Style
There was also a huge beer tent, bars, football games on a big screen, live music, and yard games. People brought their lawn chairs and blankets and just hung out! It was $10 to attend and food-wise that gave you access to two samples. For just $10 more, you got a card that gave you access to five more samples! It was the perfect way to have a relaxing Saturday.

Jookin in Memphis
U-Dig Dance Academy co-founder Tarrik Moore is launching a new project to showcase Memphis Jookin.
MJ Urban Ballet is being described as an “evolution” of urban dance in Memphis, and as a more overt hybrid of hip-hop and traditional ballet.
Moore has exposed more that 7000 students to Memphis dance and hopes that a successful capital campaign for MJ Urban Ballet will help him triple that number in short order. In addition to dance, the new program will expose students to photography, clothing manufacturing, graphic design, carpentry, flooring and other potential avenues of employment.
MJ Urban Ballet Launches at Hard Rock Cafe
Moore is joined in this endeavor by his wife Kia, who hopes to use her experience with non-profit organizations to build stronger relationships with established arts organizations. She also wants to build an endowment that will eventually cover tuition costs for students.
MJ Urban Ballet makes its first public appearance at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 27th at the Hard Rock Cafe on Beale St. According to press materials the opening event will “combine traditional ballet
technique, classic pop music and urban-nuanced hip-hop dance for a unique experience.”
Ballet and Jookin have been dancing partners for some time, and Memphis’ influence on the classical form has grown in recent years.
This event is FREE and open to the public. For more information, visit the U-Dig website.

Alexander at Smith & Nephew
Even as a scramble for leadership persists upon Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, where hard-pressed Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has announced he will step down, the position of Boehner’s counterpart, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConell (R-Kentucky) remains secure.
That’s the judgment anyhow of Tennessee’s senior Republican Senator, Lamar Alexander, who said in Memphis on Monday that McConnell has been an “excellent” leader who has accomplished much and would have accomplished more, but for the obstinance of the Democratic minority.
McConnell has been elected to his successive terms as Republican leader “unanimously,” up to this point, noted Alexander, who estimated that at least “80 percent” of the party membership in the Senate continue to support the Kentuckian despite open attacks on McConnell as unreliably conservative from such GOP right-wingers as Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Persistent attacks on Boehner from “Freedom Caucus” GOP House members with views similar to those of Cruz are credited with forcing the departure from his leadership post by Boehner, who remains in office during a so far inconclusive search for a successor.
Alexander, as he pointed out Monday, is one of five Senate Republicans appointed by McConnell to look into a revision of the Senate’s procedural rules.
After completing a tour of the Brooks Road plant of Smith & Nephew, characterized by the Senator as makers of innovative medical device products, Alexander called for the passage of legislation to facilitate public accessibility for such products — including the “Patient Access to Disposable Medical Technology Act of 2015,” which would expand Medicare coverage for them, and the “Medical Device Access and Innovation Protection Act” to repeal the 2.3 percent excise tax on medical device manufacturers.
Alexander is a co-sponsor of both pieces of legislation.
This week’s Music Video Monday is a hot mess.
For the latest record by Vending Machine, Robby Grant commissioned several Memphis directors to make videos, several of which have been featured on Music Video Monday. The latest one, which makes its world premiere today, is for the album’s title track “Let The Little Things Go”. Director G.B. Shannon makes ingenious use of splitscreen and multiple images to tell a harrowing, and surprisingly complex, story of love gone wrong. Brandi Gist, Nathan Ross Murphy, Jamie Harmon, Leah Keys, and Drew Fleming star in one of the best music videos we’ve seen this year.
