Memphis, Tennessee

A mecca of American music, Memphis is the birthplace of the blues, soul, and rock and roll and Elvis Presley himself. Of course, Memphis is also one of America’s great barbecue capitals (where pork has primacy). Be sure to top off your pulled pork sandwich with a mound of saucy slaw. The month-long Memphis in May festival features the renowned World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. Besides barbecue, Southern and soul-food classics are on display. Every year during Memphis in May, local Southern restaurants get together in Tom Lee Park to share their fare at the Great Southern Food Festival -- fried catfish or chicken, cornbread, sweet-potato pancakes, fried green tomatoes, and much more. Bring the pants with the larger waistband when you come to town, because you won’t go away hungry in Memphis, Tennessee.

Fresh Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Reviewed on Sep. 2, 2008 by Booschmoo
I made this and was disappointed. Pineaple Upside Down Cake, but I thought this was too heavy and a little dry. The flavor was decent, but I wasn't impressed. I think it's about a 3 star recipe, but...I'm giving it 4 stars because someone contacted me after trying it and said it was the best one they'd ever had! So maybe it was just my personal taste if others thought it was that good.

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed on Sep. 2, 2008 by Booschmoo
I made this exactly per the recipe and I thought it was very good! A lot of times spice mixes don't have enough flavor for me, but I thought this was great.

Pecan Pie Muffins

Reviewed on Sep. 2, 2008 by Booschmoo
I made these several years ago, and they were awesome! They're also made with ingredients that I normally have, so that could be a good or a bad thing - I don't need to be eating them too often!
