Road Trip to the South: I got the blues... for tuna taco

In Clarkedale, MS, we ate the first & BEST tuna tacos EVER!!!

Tart cabbage slaw paired with smokey seared tuna still pink in the center...OoooooOooo 

The place is called Oxbow. 

I got a tuna salad also, yum yum yum!

Check out the menu!
It's short, it's simple, it do what it does best.
You don't need to sell a million items in a shop.

Oh, why aren't you everywhere O' good tuna taco?
If only Oxbow set up shops EVERYWHERE!
I will be its loyal customer.
I will queue up in its long line.
I will name drop it in every conversation.
I will make everyone who loves me love it too.

(No comment on music even though 
Clarkedale is supposed to be the home of the Blues.(??)

But I know NOTHING about the Blues.
If Shug Avery in The Color Purple was singing The Blues,
then I think the Blues is very lovely indeed)

Road Trip to the South: Before and after visiting The King

FRIED CHICKEN - World Famous...
Ooo la la

Pilgrimage to Graceland

Elvis Presley's living room

Adam Richman from Man vs Food is an idol of my sister.

Anywhere he went eat, my sister wants to go to.

First stop in Memphis- Gus's Fried Chicken World Famous.

At Gus's, we had fried green tomatoes for the first time ever.
They were consumed in seconds (though slight old frying oil taste), hence no photos.
The fried chicken were good but not this good: 
"Fried chicken connoisseurs across the globe twitch in their sleep at night, dreaming about the gossamer- light fried chicken at this downtown concrete bunker." - Lonely Planet
We weren't blown away but hey! it's fried chicken so I'm not complaining.
There are Malay Mamas that make just as good fried chicken in Singapore. (btw, that's home)
Gus's isn't boasting about their side dishes so I won't waste time talking about them either.


After Graceland, it was Charles Vergo's Rendevous for BBQ RIBS!
Savored, relished, devoured by my sister and mon ami.
Not a pork fan, I took a nibble anyway to understand the phenomenon.
OKAY. Yes, very tasty ribs indeed.
Maybe I will reconsider pork.
