Blues City Cafe, Memphis TN – The Food is Good But the Elvis Talking Cash Singer is Unforgettable

December 26th, 2009
The only problem I saw with enjoying barbeque on my two week stay in downtown Memphis was that there were so many choices. Even without a car (which forced me to skip Cozy Corner and Interstate -- Next Time, for sure!) I still had more restaurants than days.
