Panda Express Now In Memphis

Panda Express Now In Memphis

If you are looking for a great new place to grab dinner, look no further! Panda Express is Now Open. The Chinese bistro restaurant recently opened on Germantown Parkway right near the Super Target two weeks ago.   

The restaurant is well known for its great service &  its many delicious entrees. The chain is nationwide but is said to be the first one in the Memphis area.

I highly recommend you stop by at your earliest convenience! It is open from 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.




 

Hello Ciao Bella!

Chef Johnathan Steenerson and his team at Ciao Bella invited me over for dinner the other night to get to know them, to serve as a ‘guinea pig’ for a couple of new dishes, and to try out some of the stalwarts on the menu. I was happy to accept after embarrassingly letting them know that I had recently eaten at the restaurant, and that because it was a last minute decision, I only ended up with a terrible cell phone photo. I couldn’t use that in the blog as evidence of how good it had been.

Enjoy Presidential Burgers at BGR

The Burger Joint is wading into the political waters this election season with presidential burgers.

This is not just a sales ploy, though.

The proceeds will go to benefit The "Share Our Strength No Kid Goes Hungry" campaign.

The Mitt Romney and Barack Obama burgers went on sale today.

BGR founder Mark Bucher has announced plans for the contest’s return.

“We had such a great response to the Presidential Burgers four years ago, it really was a no-brainer for it to return for this election,” Bucher said.

“Just like last time, we’ll provide regular updates on how many votes each burger gets and we will release our results on Election Day.”

Both burgers are an ode to their hometowns.

The Obama burger will feature a signature BGR patty toppy with a Chicago “Vienna Beef” hot dog with neon green relish and sport peppers.

The Romney burger, a nod to New England surf and turf will include a signature BGR patty topped wit

Local mom finds Mid-South kid-friendly restaurants

(WMC-TV) - Are you looking for Mid-south restaurants that have separate play areas for the kids?  Here is a list of Memphis-Mom approved restaurants. 

One restaurant that has many locations and is family-friendly is Chick-fil-A.  They have separate and sound-proofed play area for children.  They also provide free Wi-Fi for those parents that need to get some work in while the kids play.

There are several great places with play areas in the Collierville area.  One is the Dinks location in Collierville.  They have a playroom for kids in the back corner.  The Back Yard Burgers on Houston Levee also has a great play area.

Help me pick 10 meals in October

With all the travel and then at-home eating, it has been a slow on the blog since Cochon. Here’s the plan.

I want to write about 10 NEW (to me or to Memphis) places during the month of October, and I need your help.

Post in the comments where I should go, and I’ll work on making it happen in the next month.

THANKS!

-Thomas
