Eating Our Way Through Tennessee!

It has been an incredible couple of days since our last post. Nashville was awesome. Liz and I had some of the best burgers we have ever had. Then we tried to have pancakes in a place that has 40 some different kind of pancakes but the line was two hours long! Liz and I also went to the famous Bluebird Cafe where I flirted and talked ourselves into a table without reservations. The music was fantastic. Four singers sat in a circle singing original songs. Liz is now in love with country music.

In a cloud of musical haze, we drove to Memphis where we gorged on ribs at Rendezvous. OMG were the ribs good. The sausages were incredible as well. Liz bought two bottles of Rendezvous's famous seasoning to drench her tots in. She thinks that Rendezvous should add tots to the menu (put purists might disagree, she points out). We also had incredible ribs (Liz) and pork shoulder sandwich (GoGo) at a hole in the wall on Elvis Presley Lane. To make sure we could continue fitting in our clothes, Liz and I also squeezed in a work out this morning after hanging out on Beale Street and sipping margaritas last night.

In between all the eating, we visited Lorraine Motel which houses the National Civil Rights Museum and where Martin Luther King was shot. We also stopped by Graceland to visit the King.

We are now on route to New Orleans where the very handsome and kind Matt Rufo is putting is up. We can't wait to see New Orleans, hear some incredible music and eat what I am sure will be finger licking good food. Liz even promises to even go dancing. We'll be in New Orleans for a couple of days and are also looking forward to not having to drive. If we don't post for a couple of days, it will be because we are having way too much fun.

Hugs from the South,
Liz and GoGo

PS Zuzka this is a mobile post just for you!

Yes, Southerns do comfort food better than the townie folks in the West Coast.

Though, I never liked my grandmother's fried cat fish. I draw the line there.
