New Orleans: Madden Gras

No kidding, the big event in the French quarter this Monday evening is the kickoff party for Madden 11.

Pretty exciting--several floats going down Bourbon St and a free concert in Jackson Sq. All for a video game!

Jackson, MS: the Hickory Pit

Pie break!

Memphis, TN: Germantown Commissary

BBQ for breakfast! This place has "cheese rings" as an appetizer--these are just onion rings smothered in nacho cheese. Simple yet effective.

And at this point I'm just about bbq'd out. Time to vary the cuisine a little.
