I'm going to be in Memphis next Sunday, the 30th, and wanted to know if those of you from that area wanted to get together for a late lunch or something. I think Kellwolf is going to try to meet up with me. I know there are more of you guys around that area though and I would love a chance to say hi!

Let me know what sounds good to you. I was thinking possibly around 2pmish?!

I might be able to make it. Depends on where and when you guys meet up.

fish314 · September 23rd, 2007, 10:22

I can probably do that. Let me know the details.

MSUDAWG · September 23rd, 2007, 15:21

I wish I could.....Im moving to Greenville, SC on Tuesday.......
YAY, I love moving....

Did you know that your former instructor, A.W., signed on with Mesaba?

I don't know a lot of details, I was hoping you guys could help with some. I'd probably need to do a late lunch/ early dinner kind of thing sometime around 2 or 3pm. I was thinking the guys who actually lived there could suggest a place!?

Where will you be? That will help narrow down the field.

On the west side of the city just off of I-40.

That puts in you in the river.

I guess you mean downtown. Lots and lots of places downtown, but I haven't spent much time there in years. The Rendezvous is famous, if you want the BBQ thing. Maybe Kellwolf has a greater variety of suggestions.

Most likely. To be honest, I'm not sure of the exact location yet. I'll be there because I'm visiting a friend who I haven't seen in a while. I'll find out ASAP though and let you know. Although as long as it's not super hard to get to and I don't get lost for 5hrs, if you guys pick the place, I'll be there!

Heh, well that rules out The Rendevous as it's in a back alley you'd probably have to ask directions to.

There's a ton of places downtown, but I-40 could be anywhere from downtown to out in Cordova by the mall. Lemme know for sure where you'll be, and I'll narrow it down to a few choices.

Well if you guys wanted to do Rendevous then we can. I'll just have to be sure I have all of your numbers for when I get lost!

You could hit the Cozy Kitchen (pretty sure that is the name); it's up there around Danny Thomas Blvd (Safe during the day)... Or just roll down to the Peabody or if you don't have to fly, the Flying Saucer has the best beer selection in town..

Are you from Memphis? Why aren't you joining us?

We can't do the Flying Saucer because I do have to drive and we have one in downtown Little Rock that I've been to a million times. Not to mention... beer=yucky!

Boom Boom · September 24th, 2007, 16:50

From Memphis.. NO... Live in the Suburbs of.. YES..

Working for the next 13 days starting tonight at 12:30 AM...

The date would also rule out Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous, as he is closed on Sundays.

You could take a 90-minute riverboat sightseeing tour from 1430-1600 on Memphis Riverboats for $18.

If you're up for top quality steak, you should consider The Butcher Shop Steakhouse on Front Street. I also like Buckley's on Union Ave.

If you haven't tried a Churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse) before, and if you have a big appetite, you might like Texas de Brazil. It's a meat lover's dream come true. (Oops, looks like it's just a buffet on Sunday, Noon-1500.)

If you have a big appetite, but you're more in the mood for a 4-lb burger, check out Big Foot Lodge. If you can finish the Sasquatch Burger in 60 minutes, it's free. The fried Dill Pickle is an interesting appetizer. Don't bother with the Prime Rib.

The Pier Restaurant has a pretty good view of the river, but it's been a while since I've been there, so I can't vouch for the food. It's probably better for a romantic dinner than a lunch with friends.

Dan McGuinness Pub on Peabody Place is the only authentic Irish pub in Memphis, and they'll serve up your pint of Guinness with free wireless.

McAlister's Deli has great sandwiches, loaded potatoes, and super salads, but they're famous for their Sweet Tea.

Dyer's Burgers on Beale Street has an interesting history, and a delicious burger. It's doubtful that you've ever had a burger cooked the way they cook 'em.

Which brings us to Beale Street -- what else needs to be said?

.

NotCoolEnufToFly · September 24th, 2007, 17:11

Ummm...Tony, I think you should come and pick the place!!!! Everything sounds yummy! No McAlister's though. I can eat that here anytime. I kinda want to try some local joint.

But not much of a food menu selection.

I could eat of the hot & cheesy ever day of the week... The Beer Brat Nachos rock!! But you don't go for the food.... Maybe the Beer.. But that is just my opinion....

Expensive for those on FO pay or student pilot budgets.

I like this place, but the atmosphere is a bit cheesy.

I've seen this place, but haven't eaten there. It's in a mall, so the atmosphere is "mall-like".

Tea is nothing special, IMO, but the food is good. But it's a chain.

Haven't been to Beale since there was a Dyer's there. The grease is decades old, or at least they brag so. I remember when they changed locations years ago, they did a publicity stunt whereby the grease was escorted by armed guards.

Quote:

Yup, lots there. I like the Rum Boogie Cafe...good plate lunches, but not sure how late they serve in the day.

Other Options:

Huey's for burgers is a possibility.
Sleep-out Louie's
Majestic Grill sounds good....http://www.majesticgrille.com/
Beale Street Tap Room

IFly85 · September 25th, 2007, 20:57

Hhhmmm I might be up for it if I am in town considering when I am in town I have pretty much nothing to do. Hey Taylor, quick question, are you talking about Amy? (in reguards to the instructor who was picked up by Mesaba)

kellwolf · September 25th, 2007, 22:38

Heh, I think Tony forgot most of use don't fly for Purple.

I pretty much echo everyting tgrayson said. Huey's is actually one of my favorite burger places. The down side to being a Sunday is we live in the South. A lot of places (even the ones on Beale) might be closed.

IFly85 · September 25th, 2007, 23:19

I dunno, I think the Huey's downtown might still be open. I mean if all else fails, the Saucer will be open lol.

Yes, I got you and MSUDAWG confused. You'd recommended Amy to him last year, but he never flew with her.

Hey, I'm happy with Krystal's. I didn't want y'all to wind up in the alley salivating for ribs only to find the doors locked, so I thought I'd point out a few places nearby. (OK, so I got a little carried away.) Go to Dyers Burgers -- very unique, and easy on the budget.

I appreciate the invitation, but we've got family plans Sunday afternoon. I'm sure the other gentlemen will take good care of you.
