Cocktails and Snacks at Mollie Fontaine Lounge (Closed)

A few weeks ago, I went to Mollie Fontaine Lounge for early dinner-and-drinks with my friend Allie. Even though it's been around for years, I realized I'd never tried the food at Mollie Fontaine Lounge, which is owned by Memphis Chef Karen Carrier. The place: Mollie Fontaine Lounge is in an historic Victorian house in the Edge neighbhorhood.

In A Kayak In The Middle Of The Mississippi

I had a lot of misconceptions about the Memphis-touching part of the Mississippi River before I got in a tiny boat and paddled around in it. Though I've enjoyed views of the River from rooftops, walkways, and parks, the river seemed big, inaccessible, and a little scary. I guess I'd seen people boating before, but I didn't picture myself hopping in a tiny canoe and heading downstream until Joe Royer invited me to join him in a double kayak for a morning paddle.

2014 I Love Memphis (in May) Podcast: A Tale of Two Hollys

On this month's I Love Memphis Podcast, my co-host Kevin Cerrito and I sit down with Memphis in May's new Director of Marketing, Holly Ford, to hear all about our city's monthlong festival. We talk about everything from how we pick which country to honor, to the wildest barbecue team names, to our own memories of crazy Memphis in Mays of the past.
