Taking in a little piece of midsouth history

I often admit to kind of being captain oblivious at times. Yes I live in Memphis, Tn a music, food, and sitting along the muddy Mississippi part of the Soul of the South. Now if you read my twitstream you may notice me check in around Beale street, or in/near various other midsouth Landmarks but here's the sad part. I've rarely actually enjoyed them I've always been working. Yes I've been on Beale a million times in the last 4 years but except for a few times at the Pig or Rum Boogie rarely do I eat down there. And I haven't been to a music spot since 04.

I laughed I had passed by Tom's BBQ a million times and never set foot in the door until recently(yet when I lived in south jersey I used to visit all the famous philly spots), fixed the printer at the Mesquite Chop house but never sat down for a drink or meal. So today, just to settle my rumbling stomach(since I forgot to eat more than a box of raisins and a banana last night) I decided to get lunch while working off front and Monroe. One of the attendants at the garage I was working at suggested a little deli within walking distance. "The Little Tea Shop", I actually didn't notice the name at first I just saw the sign that said lunch. Looked around not sure if I should just sit down anywhere or if I should wait to be seated(I hate being presumptuous, my mother taught me manners), was directed to sit anywhere and was waiting on by a well informed server. I've actually worked in a few restaurants in my day and I like waist staff who are not only personable but also give you the days special without trying to order for you(unless asked, some days I do take recommendations). He joked about the soup of the day(Lentil)he said "we have a soup of the day but its too hot for soup" took my order(chicken salad sandwich to go with potato salad) and offered me water even after I declined a drink.

This is to see how a picture would look if one day I so happened to see something:wild, crazy, unbelievable(unbeweavable), exciting, exhasperating, just Whoa that I felt I needed to share.

I have no clue how this is gonna look or work out so basically this is a guinea pig blog. Of what oh yeah that's my lunch. No NORMALLY I wouldn't cook my burgers and fries in the same pan(especially as I'm trying to eat less greasy fries) but this is me being a bit lazy. So burgers and fries in the same pan, just for me(none for you :p). I know I should have taken a better picture(damn my jersey snuck out I almost typed pixture) but again guinea pig, one shot.

I mean if it sucks royally I'll just have to figure out some other way to do it, but I'm hoping it works or at least works as a decent template to start from, meet a brother half way and we golden.
Hmm really didn't have much else to say plus well gotta go eat said food soon so
