As someone who writes about food regularly, I feel like I've got some weird, self-inflicted responsibility to never eat the same thing twice (unless I'm just eating out of efficiency - that's different).

This week, a salad caused me to break my rules.

Meet Local Gastropub's Thai Noodle Salad, the meal that I've eaten twice in the past four days (only, really, it's been closer to four times since the salad is huge enough to warrant a to-go box).

Today in Memphis, Pipe Kitty lives, Michelle Obama visits, Lifeblood seeks donors and the Edge reopens. Also, we're number two! We're number two!

People of downtown, it's time to leave your offices during lunch on Thursdays and take a walk to Court Square. 

The weekly Food Truck Rodeo in Court Square is one of the best ways to easily find a variety of food trucks in Memphis.

There are few things more adorable than the Collage Dance Collective's gaggle of elementary school ballerinas rehearsing for their first recital.

We seem to have hit the Extreme Foods portion of the 365 Things to Do in Memphis. Yesterday, I suggested that you try the Hey Meat!

Happy Friday! Here's the shortlist of the events you won't want to miss this weekend:

1. FedEx St. Jude Classic, TPC-Southwind, Friday - Sunday, all day, $35 per day

Some of the world's best golfers (ahem, Rory McIlroy) are at Southwind this weekend for the annual FedEx St. Jude Classic. Catch the second round of tournament play on Friday, the third round on Saturday and the final round on Sunday. Proceeds from this PGA event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

In the past 40 years, Overton Square (at the corner of Cooper and Madison) has gone from the city's biggest party to a sedate street lined with a handful of restaurants and even more empty storefronts. All of that it's about to change, though. Here's what's up with the redevelopment of Overton Square.

What it was: Before Beale Street became Memphis' major party district, midtown's Overton Square was the center of local revelry. The city authorized the sale of liquor by the drink in 1969 and by 1970, the square was the place to go for good times.

The Hey Meat! pizza from Memphis Pizza Cafe may not be the most extreme food in Memphis, but it's probably the most questionably punctuated. Assignment #159 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to try a slice.

Appearing on Friday night at the Center for Southern Folklore store, a band with the best name that I've seen all week:

Come on - say it out loud. Brown chicken, brown cow!
