My pal Mary and I went to the inaugural “Memphis on the Rocks” on South Main last Thursday night. It is one of the many events that Kim Hill, of The City Taste, has cooked up to showcase Memphis food and beverages. And it benefited the YWCA. Hard to argue with that.
Of course, the obvious pitfall of a beer/wine/liquor sampling event is the likelihood of strutting in sober and kneewalking out. Fortunately, there were giant buckets of bottled water, and Kim informed us at the door that there were shuttles available to take people home. Also, there was plenty of food to balance out the drinking: platters donated by local restaurants like Pearl’s, Tug’s, Silly Goose, Central Barbecue, and various arrangements catered by Chef Robert Hayes.
