Salad Bars Are For Closers

Behind every sign put up in a restaurant, there is bound to be a story.

At Elliott’s on Second in Downtown Memphis, signs warn of disasters and doom due to salad bar abuses. We believe there must have been an epic salad bar heist in which someone spilled a drink as a diversion while his or her accomplice stole a bunch of salad, or, perhaps worse, made a second trip to the salad bar.

Sour Cream Is Not For Soup!

  • Sour Cream Is Not For Soup!

Let’s just hope these signs (with red highlights!) prevent future disasters of this nature so the honest patrons of Elliott’s can enjoy the appropriate amount of fixin’s on their “bake potato’s”.

We said Please.

New Gun Law May Impact Junk in Your Trunk

  • Eat me

Tennessee’s “Guns In Trunks” law takes effect today. State and city leaders are still not in agreement as to how this impacts employers’ rights to establish rules prohibiting guns on their property.

It is also unclear whether this law will impact the 1995 “Junk In The Trunk” law enacted after state legislators watched an episode of The Jerry Springer Show and ate some ham.

19th Century Club to Be Demolished, Midtown to Freak Out

We cant have anything nice

  • We can’t have anything nice

In light of news that the new owners of the Nineteenth Century Club” on Union Avenue will demolish the historic building, many Memphians, particularly Midtowners, are furious.

Perhaps the City Council can propose a bill aimed at mollifying the notoriously vocal Midtown crowd? The SUMO (Shut Up Midtowners Ordinance) would require that any Midtown building that is more than 50 years old can not be demolished unless it is replaced by a Trader Joe’s.

Such an ordinance should have the effect of short circuiting Midtowners brains to the point where they are utterly unable to respond to any proposed demolition.

International Delights

At the Cordova Farmer’s Market International, you can find pretty much any international foodstuffs you might want, from duck embryos to five gallon drums of soy sauce.

We hope this heralds the way for Carly Ray Jepsen’s lucrative “Cauliflower, Baby” endorsement deal and Rebecca Black’s new role as a pitch person for TGI Friday’s frozen appetizers.
