What’s the most unexpected meal you’ve ever had?
I'm a huge Elvis fan and my girlfriend loves Priscilla Presley, so for her birthday I found a very special restaurant in Memphis called the Beauty Shop. It used to be a beauty parlor in the 1960s, where Priscilla would get her hair done. It is now an incredible woman-owned restaurant that serves everything from floral shrub mocktails to root beer floats. Naturally, we started with a root beer float, then had the roasted balsamic beet & clementine salad for dinner, and finished the night with the best strawberry cake I've ever had in my life. To boot, they still have the hair dryer stations in there!! I must also say that we mostly ate sweets at the Beauty Shop, since we had already pre-partied at Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, the best and oldest chicken spot in Memphis.
