East End Grill
What I Loved: East End has been one of my stand-bys for a good while now. They served me a few appletinis back in my underage days and that is enough of an act of kindness to win a girl's heart for years to come. So naturally, what I love(d) about East End is what I always love about East End. FRIED CHEESE BALLS. (Please note that one fried cheese ball was totally harmed in the taking of that photograph, because I scarfed it, but not before dipping it into copious amount of honey mustard.)
Why You Should Get Drunk There: Other than the cheese balls (FRIEDCHEESE), they have a pretty good beer selection (when you include bottled, as their draft offerings are fairly limited) and their patio really is one of my favorites. There's a TV on it! I can sit on the patio and watch basketball, and not while peering through the window into the restaurant and looking like some kind of blind peeping tom? Yes, thank you.
cheers,
elizabeth
Attention Memphis Readers!
This Friday will be the first Project: Patio Meet-Up -- I'd love to see you there! It's happening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Raffe's Beer Garden on Poplar. If it rains, we'll have to, um, take a rain check, what with the whole point being the consumption of the beverages on the patio. But keep an eye out for events all summer. Two patio crawls are in the works right now. Let's get drunk together -- I promise I don't exaggerate here. You will have a good time, if only because of my sheer entertainment value when intoxicated. Come one, come all!
