Atlanta Adult Entertainment: Road Trip: Seeking Soul in Memphis
Posted on July 27th, 2011 in Atlanta adult entertainment
Memphis hasn’t experienced the growth pangs of Atlanta, its neighborhoods are mostly well worn, its people are mostly Memphians of many generations. The city simmers in its own soul, always keeping the past close at hand. Here are a few of my favorite food stops in Memphis that will satisfy anyone seeking a respite from suburban mega-malls and cookie cutter contemporary fast casual dining, anyone seeking soul:
Earnestine & Hazel’s: this downtown bar in a run down former brothel is the home of the “soul burger” as well as (reportedly) the home of several ghosts. The upstairs maze of rooms all in a state of somewhat shocking decay might just make you believe in the supernatural, and the Sunday night jazz sessions will make you feel like you’re sitting in on an episode of Treme as musicians take turns hanging out and standing up for a solo. There is no menu, just a handful of beers by the bottle, and that “soul burger” – which perfectly captures everything right about this place. 84 E GE Patterson Ave, (901) 523-9754
