Rock the boat go to Rock'n Dough

Rock'n Dough is located in East Memphis, near Stash Furniture.
The inside of it is small but nicely furnished.
We go to Rock'n Dough when we have a pizza dispute.

That happens more often then you might guess.
When I fist had their pizza it was in a food truck. I remember the slice I got had bacon on it. I liked it. I think that is how the company started.

We usually have a large pizza with mushrooms, sausage, and sometimes olives. 
The pizza has a hand tossed
medium thick crust. It is a little doughy on the top. The cheese is gooey and very stretchy. The sauce is savory, the mushrooms are fresh, the olives are well olives.    
 One cool thing about them is the fancy pizza by the slice. They have the pizza out and the slices always look fresh.

I really like the place, it is not my favorite but it is a good pizza.

Love the cabbage leaf,

Be Majestic at Majestic Grille

Majestic Grille is my Grandmother's favorite place.

It was an old movie theater that got turned into a restaurant.

They always have a black and white movie on a projector playing with no sound, but it is still cool.

Now onto the food.

I shared a salmon pizza with my Mama.

The crust was thin and generously sprinkled with salmon. It had spinach on it which I did not know about.

It could have used a light cream sauce. Overall it was ok. I would not order it again.

Dad ordered a hanger steak with mashed potatoes.

He thought that it was tasty but there were too many potatoes. It could maybe use a few green beans.

My Grandmother ordered the pork tenderloin with carrots, curly onion fries and mashed potatoes.

She liked it, it is what she usually orders.

If you want a majestic dinning experience go to Majestic Grille https://www.facebook.com/MajesticGrille .

Tops BBQ Burgers?!

Well,everyone is always raving about Tops BBQs' burger. They all say that the burger is something else.
My Dad is a huge Tops fan and late one night we went and got burgers. The inside is a BBQ shack at heart.
Howie Mandel would freak!
So here comes the burger, large, juicy, greasy, toasted, beefy, tomato, condiments, and the good old lettuce, everything a burger needs.
Surprise, it is really good. The fries,now, they are extremely good! Old fashion crinkle cut so they hold the ketchup really well and just an all around outstanding crispy fry. 

I've joined the Tops burger club and I think you should too!

Love the cabbage, Leaf

A first for Me at Tart

One of my favorite X-Librarians said that Tart was really good so I had to go and give it a try.

Tart is located on Cooper. It's a small European feeling coffee house/bakery. I expected it to be arranged like La Baguette with lots of treats but Tart had fewer, more elegant, hand crafted, fancier treats. I like a big selection so this seemed strange to me. I did see many things I wanted to try but this isn't a huge variety place. It is an elegant,crafted place.

We decided on a cherry tart and Pain Au Chocolate, with 2 different coffees. Mama got the Cubano, it was kind of smoky  which was nice. I got the Espresso. I Really liked it, it was my first Espresso ever! 

The pastries were good. The Pain Au Chocolate was really great. I especially liked it dunked in the coffee. The cherry tart could have used a hint of something- maybe citrus or spicy pepper. It was just a bit salty and not very sweet which was very nice! 

They had an interesting choice of breakfast and lunch foods all which sounded fabulous and I am eager to go again. There is a fancy salmon dish served in a jar with butter and baguette that sounds like a must try.

I think Espresso might be addicting!

On the hunt for Japanese Food- I found Sakura

Sakura,

It's a long standing Japaneses restaurant on Poplar, you might have missed it. It is tucked behind a store or something.

The interior is nice, slightly fancy, Japaneses decor.

I ordered the sushi sampler and shrimp tempura lunch special. It was a lot of food.

The sushi part of the lunch came with four pieces of sushi: shrimp, crab,salmon,and tuna. It was all fresh and tasty. It was beautifuly plated. The wasbabi and ginger both had a nice flavor. One of the better plates of sushi I have had in a while.


The tempura part of the lunch had 2 huge fried shrimp, some veggies like sweet potato, squash, onion, and eggplant. The tempura batter was light and crispy. All of the veggies were well cooked. On the side of the tempura was some asian slaw, asian pickles, sliced fruit, and broccoli with a wasabicream sauce. Since this lunch special also came with soup and salad it was a gigantic meal.

I LOVED IT! 

If your starving then go to Sakura.

I'm at a loss Lost pizza Co.

Lost Pizza Co.

Well, usually I don't blog about sub par pizza but.,Lost Pizza Co left a lot to be desired. My Dad went before me and had the cheese pasta and didn't like it, and I went to give them a second shot.

The interior is really neat. I mean a wall of doors how ironic and countless other things. I loved all the art and vintage stuff. It looked really cool.

But the pizza now that's another story, we ordered cheese, sausage, mushrooms, and pepperoni. We divided it into half sausage half pepperoni all mushroom.

The crust tasted frozen and they put the pepperoni under the cheese which kinda steamed the pepperoni, the mushrooms were tasteless, the sausage tasted bad too. I know I am kinda snobish when it comes to pizza but really! I did not like it at all. My friend however thought it was ok and he would go back, but not me.

If you want to hang out someplace that looks cool go... but I warned you.

Lost Pizza Co.

I was skewered at Skewer.

So, I was watching The Mind of a Chef with David Chang on Netflix.

The show was about ramen noodles and the different styles of ramen soup, it was very fascinating. I wanted to try some ramen. I heard that there was a ramen place in town, so of course I had to go.

My Mama brought me to Skewer and it is a small little restaurant with a cool dome in the ceiling the style is slightly modernistic. 

Skewer had Skewers naturally and ,Rice Bowels, Ramen, Zushi, and plenty of wonderful appetizers.

I got The Yakibutan ramen, it had a clear broth flavored plentifully with seaweed, added in were some soft boiled eggs, roasted pork tenderloin, some mushrooms,  baby bok-choy, and a free salad with ginger dressing the salad was not in the soup.

My Mama got The Tonkotsu ramen it had a pork and vegetable broth with spicy layers of flavors. There was mushrooms, soft boiled eggs and so much more. 

I stole Mama's Tonkotsu ramen and ate a big chunk of it.

She decided to get another ramen so she ordered The Gokumiso ramen it had a very sesame flavored broth, some of the vegetables that were in it were, kernels of corn, bean sprouts which were delicious, spicy ground pork, and you guessed it soft boiled eggs.

Add caption

I stole that one too (in the end Mama didn't get to much ramen, sorry).

If you have only had ramen from the package than go to Skewer.

Love the cabbage, Leaf
