Just had lunch at Memphis Minnie's

The place is a trip. They are so anti-healthy, it's hilarious. They have a punch card to give you a free sandwich after purchasing 10, and they call it the "Lard Card".
Imagine a BBQ place that would be TV-ready for a show like
Weird U.S.. Or like a Bubba Gump's shrimp place that was authentic and not all cheesy T-shirt franchising a la Planet Hollywood. Or for those on the East Coast, like a Po' Folks with better food, weirder employees, and isn't a chain:

(Speaking of Po' Folks: a restaurant chain with the theme of poverty? Now that takes some marketing cajones if you asked me...)
As for my lunch today? Had the Memphis sweet-smoked pork sandwich, a side order of collard greens, and fried peach pie for dessert. :lick:
