Memphis ~ TN
During a scorching 115º heat wave in August, "96º In The Shade", Taco was touring Soulsville, USA, aka. Memphis, and taking in the Taco lifestyle in Tennessee. From barbecue to baseball, Beale Street to Stax Records, Memphis has it going on. Here is a glimpse of what we found.
The legendary Stax Recording Studios. See Watts Stax.
Isaac Hayes' ride. We spotted Chef visiting Stax the same day.
The late, great Memphis Slim.
Home of the Memphis Red Birds, situated in downtown Memphis, and probably the nicest minor league ball-park around.
These nachos can't be beat!
Horn player who played with Booker T. & The MG's.
