From the great The South in My Mouth comes tales from one of the foodie-iest events of the year: the annual Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium.
Of local interest is the report involving Restaurant Iris' Kelly English (pictured above), cow heads, and the fire department.
UPDATED: But wait there's more (and it's all about love) from Angela Knipple at From the Southern Table.

Lunch at Cafe Eclectic
Posted by Susan Ellis on Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 5:02 PM
Generally, I lean toward the vanilla-ice-cream approach. When you've got the solid basics — like a good vanilla ice cream — why mess it up with unnecessary add-ins?
But the black bean wrap ($8.95) at Cafe Eclectic blows my theory to smithereens. There's a lot going on inside this one simply named wrap.

Always
Posted by Susan Ellis on Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 11:58 AM
Last week I stopped by Republic Coffee for lunch and ordered the Pedro, a nice barbecue-style sandwich with tofu, slaw, and chipolte sauce ($7).
Sandwiches come with a choice of side — carrot souffle, fruit, mac & cheese, among them — but I opted for the cheese grits because I always, without fail, order cheese grits when I see them on the menu.

Something Old, Something New
Posted by Susan Ellis on Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 4:52 PM
Last week, I reacquainted myself with one of my favorite Memphis lunches: La Baguette's egg and olive sandwich with an order of its terrific tomato soup. (About $10 for sandwich, soup, and a drink.)
As for the something new ...

Last week, Pam and I went to Terrace Cafe, the semi-annual lunch and fashion show held at the Dixon Gallery & Gardens.
It was very ladies-who-lunch.

CSA: Chicken Salad, Hummus, and a Little Help from Bobby Flay
Posted by Pamela Denney on Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 7:44 AM
I love seasonal cooking in early October, because local farmers are selling summer produce alongside autumn fare. In my CSA last week from Whitton Farms, I had cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, and a huge bundle of basil, as well as a half a dozen sweet potatoes.

We'll pick a winner later this week.

Happy World Vegetarian Day
Posted by Susan Ellis on Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 1:29 PM
- Fuel's veggie burger
Today is World Vegetarian Day, and I have to say that, locally, I've been encouraged by the openings of three restaurants in the last year that strive to have interesting and inventive vegetarian options: Fuel, Three Angels Diner, and Trolley Stop Market.
Kudos to them for thinking beyond the portobello burger.
Almost none of the above has anything to do with Anthony Bourdain and his latest book Medium Raw, but I'm going there anyway ...
