Heading to Memphis for the AAC Tournament

I used to know Memphis well living there for 5 years. Great fried chicken, ribs of course but I loved going out to breakfast and getting a basket of fresh steaming hot biscuits served with honey. Couple thousand calories for breakfast, no problem. “Gentlemen loosen your belts!”

Catfish? Can’t imagine landlocked Tennessee is renowned for its seafood.

Catfish are caught in the Mississippi River and it’s tributaries, but also farm raised. I used to catch them. Fried catfish with hush puppies, oh yeah.

Well I blame my dad for never taking me fishing but I can count the times I’ve had river fish for dinner on one hand. I’m sure there’s a whole world of culinary delight to be had there, not sarcasm.

For all of you that have had experience parking near the FedEx Forum and downtown Memphis in general, is plenty of parking available at a reasonable price during such events? Is it worth buying parking passes ahead of time? I am seeing parking passes sold online anywhere from $10 to $25 per day (assuming it covers the whole day).
 
Memphis is a GREAT city.

Gus' Fried Chicken is the best friend chicken on the planet.

Corky's, Rendesvous, Germantown Commissary (in the burbs) for BBQ. BBQ Shop on Madison (get the pork sandwich on Texas Toast)

Silky O'Sullivans on Beale Street.

Gibson Guitar Factory, National Civil Rights Museum, Rock N' Soul Museum.

Enjoy it and hopefully 4 games in 4 days for the Huskies

There is 10 dollar parking very close to the stadium (329 Gayoso Avenue). I wouldn't bother.
 
Hotel is booked! I'll be "walkin' in Memphis" tomorrow night fellas! Just hope our squad doesn't disappoint but I will try to have fun regardless of the outcome.

Go Huskies! Let's shock the world!

The Peabody Hotel, the one with the ducks on the roof has a great lobby/ bar area with a piano player for drinks. It’s not slugging brew but it’s very big and great seating on nice furniture for comfort. I could spend all night there but pricey.
 


Jalen and Mamadou headed to Memphis. One with a $800 Canada Goose jacket and one in a $600 Louis Vuitton belt ‍♂️
