Week 1: #Foodie
Last week I told you that I created an 8-week challenge for myself…nothing fancy, but just enough to keep me on my toes by doing (or participating in) something new for eight weeks. First week, success! This weekend I have been busy playing host in Memphis, so it was only right to get out and enjoy some culinary goodness. A buddy of mine came up to visit from Miami, who is an official foodie, therefore I was determined to find a local restaurant to satisfy the tastebuds. First stop, how about the restaurant, “Local” on Main St. LOL. We initially set out to try a different restaurant, but the atmosphere of Local drew us in. Second stop, Saturday Brunch at Brother Juniper’s. Amazing! A few ladies in the nail salon suggested this restaurant a couple of weeks ago, after I asked for suggestions on choosing the best brunch spot in Memphis. We were not disappointed. Over twenty specialty omelets, including a Greek omelet with gyro meat w/ feta and mozzarella cheese…DELISH. The Belgian waffle came with pure maple syrup, but the waffle had a subtle sweetness to it already. Before placing my order I think I just looked around the room at everyone’s plate, kinda overwhelmed at the choices. Our table was a bit off set from the main part of the restaurant, but it really didn’t matter. I was just happy we made it before brunch ended at 1230pm. For my first dining experience at Brother Junipers, I give ’em 5 stars. If you’re in Memphis and love a friendly, inviting atmosphere and tasty breakfast food choices, visit Brother Junipers! Enjoy your week, Luvs ❤
