Interesting that you worked at the Commercial Appeal. I did not get to Paynes--but I did get to Gus's Fried Chicken. Not barbecue, of course, but still pretty memorable. Memphis is a great food town, I'm sure you had fun writing about it.

I reviewed restaurants in Memphis for 20 years (for the local newspaper) and it's still my favorite barbecue joint(well, with Payne's, which I hope you also got to). The longtime owner died recently, but his family still runs the place.<br /><br />http://www.biggerthanyourhead.netfredric koeppelhttp://www.biggerthanyourhead.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214773609385433303.post-59933378713318802722009-04-07T18:08:00.000-04:002009-04-07T18:08:00.000-04:00Good idea, my dear mother.

Please elaborate. Please elucidate. Post pictures if you think that may help. Matter of fact, I think pictures are just the ticket here. Thanks in advance. <BR/><BR/>Love the blog, BTW.

It's so full of depth and flavor that you just don't get with pumpkin. Sweet potato pie is like the mousy younger sister in an 80's, Molly Ringwald in 16 <BR/>Candles -- you dismiss her as plain, and then you look again, and she's gorgeous. And then the hunk with the red convertible falls in love with her. <BR/>So I Megan and Butch!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00854956228949380134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214773609385433303.post-79618503736275270562009-04-06T13:58:00.000-04:002009-04-06T13:58:00.000-04:00I have always wanted to try Sweet Potato Pie.

I guess I have never made it because I would be the only one eating it. <BR/><BR/>This recipe sounds wonderful and I am going to try it...only I will have to cut it in half, otherwise I would have to eat the whole pie alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
