While eating my way through Sunday’s March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction at the Racquet Club in East Memphis, I mixed up this recipe for a fun and happy fund-raiser.

Joy Bateman Booksigning Tuesday
Posted by Susan Ellis on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 3:36 PM
In 2005, Joy Bateman, who works as an account executive for Flyer sister publication Memphis magazine, published The Art of Dining in Memphis. The cookbook includes recipes from the city's best restaurants and illustrations by Bateman. The book sold well, and Bateman followed it up with The Art of Dining in New Orleans in 2007.
The city Bateman turned her attention to next came as a surprise ... at least to her.

Paul is considering doing breakfast books for other cities. Perhaps a Breakfast in M-Town?

Friday afternoon, the dance floor was empty but the tables by the bar were busy with customers ordering a Cuban sandwich or Veracruz shrimp. The Cuban sandwich looked delicious: ham, pernil (Cuban roast pork), mustard, Swiss cheese, and pickle on a French baguette. It costs $8 and comes with fries.

The Vegetable Plate Conundrum
Posted by Susan Ellis on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 9:35 AM
Last week, coworkers Greg, Pam, and Leonard and I went to the Blue Monkey. I ordered the vegetable plate, and just as the waitress was out-of-reach I began lamenting my choices.
"I should have ordered the tomatoes," I said.
"Why didn't you?" Greg asked.
"I panicked."

Chang and Meehan were in Oxford Halloween weekend for an appearance at the Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium.
Here's a taste of Chang's first impressions of the Mid-South: "the flight got delayed for four hours... but it was all news to me: I pilled myself out, so I came to on the runway in Memphis. Who knew that Memphis was so close to Mississippi?"
Scroll down to the middle of the page for the pair's take on the Mid-South.
On the Scene at the Harvest Celebration
Posted by Pamela Denney on Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 6:39 AM
Hundreds of supporters gathered at downtown's Central Station Sunday evening for Harvest Celebration, the Memphis Farmers Market annual fund-raiser. It was quite the culinary event: tasting stations from 20 of the city’s leading restaurants, lots of wine (thank you, Star Distributors and A.S. Barboro), and a unique auction for fun food stuff like pick-your-own strawberries, a party patio at Hunt Phelan, cooking classes with Tsunami chef Ben Smith, and backyard composters.

Cake Cutting Thursday at Shara's Paperie
Posted by Susan Ellis on Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Is there anything more delicious-sounding than a cake-cutting ceremony?
Today at Shara’s Paperie, there will be such an event to announce its new line of gift cakes, Cake Bliss, produced locally by Hilda Osarogiagbon.
Osarogiagbon says the path to Cake Bliss and Shara’s Paperie was like one of a boomerang.
