2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location. (Not including my house; like Uncle, I cook a lot.)

  1. Three Little Pigs BBQ: For my money, the best pulled pork in Memphis, and possibly on Earth.
  2. Tacqueria La Guadalupana: Authentic tacos (no flour or crispy corn tortillas here), the best chips & salsa, and the Pechuga a la Plancha is a personal favorite. You’re not going for atmosphere, though; you’re going for the food.
  3. The Half Shell: Good, fresh seafood, reasonably priced, including oysters on the half shell for $9 a dozen. Can’t beat it.
  4. Cafe Toscana: I’ve never had a bad meal there, but the Parmesan-encrusted Tilapia is stellar, and I can’t get past it.
  5. It’s cliché, but Corky’s: I love their dry ribs, and I can’t find anyone else’s that I like better. Rendezvous sucks, by the way.

3. Tag five others.

Jeff springs to mind, but otherwise, if you feel like it, do it, and if you don’t, dont.

UPDATE: Bond, Another Memphian (albeit a new one) takes the bait.
