B.B. King stands for Blues Boy King, who, God Bless’Em, is still touring at the age of 85. What will I B. in Memphis? I can B. someone who is surprised that if I want to see Elvis Impersonators, I am barking up the wrong tree. They’re in Vegas. Memphis is where Barbecue and Blues rule, and where I can B.a pig, I suppose. Even if you are a vegetarian, there is sure to be something on Beale Street for you. Just check of the Memphis-savvy travel guide at itinerary.memphistravel.com to root around.
I personally would probably come back with a stomach ache and a camera full of pictures of hokey or novel pun filled signs and plenty of stores to tell. Right now can enter to win a trip package. There are packages for singles, single with a friend, couples and families. Weekly winners have already been chosen, why not you?
One tour package includes a night at the historical Peabody Hotel (yes, the ones with the ducks in the fountain), carriage rides and dinner at the Majestic Grille. Singles with friends dine at B.B. King’s and most packages include one “flip side” excursion including the Farmer’s Market, Jerry’s SnoCone, and even a Roof Top Party. Yeah, if the barbecue doesn’t agree with me, I’ll fill up on SnoCones. There are no calories to them, right?


What if your friends buy you a gift card for a restaurant that you hardly ever go to because its way on the other side of town. Of course, you wouldn’t mind trying it, but its such a “make a day of it” and you can’t think of what you want to do over there. In the meantime, you go out to other places a bazillion times. I am guilty of being that type of gifter because I tend to choose places that are just near me, and I forget that they don’t have a franchise near my friends. Then, if I pick a national franchise, OF COURSE, they will be in their state, but maybe six hours away.
On June 27, 2010, Stupid Human Trick and Stupid Pet Trick auditions for the David Letterman show will take place near 
(At left: We need a little Christmas, right this very minute. Um….a little more than that. Well…Steven Seagal volunteers for the police force in New Orleans. Maybe Santa moonlights, too.)
For years, there were folks I knew around the Northeast that would take a day or a one night trip to New York City. They would look at all of the fantastic Christmas window displays, buy some Christmas presents, and then maybe take in a Broadway show or see the Rockettes. Of course, all sorts of culinary delights awaited you if you had the time.
“Why yes, Gladys. I told him the drapes do match the carpet…and the wallpaper…and my apron! It was also all on sale. 
You may too late for this year, but you surely can get your food and entertainment. You can eat at the Barbara Fairchild Diner. It is not like a Kenny Rogers Roasters, where it is simply named for a singer. Country Music chart topper Barbara and her husband Roy Morris serve up the sandwiches and the ice cream. They are open from 11:00-3:00, and it all sounds like a lot of fun. I don’t know of anyone who has been there yet, but if you have, comment and let me know how you liked it. According to a Branson Directory website, Blair Zell of Geneva, Illinois, was at the Diner on September 5th, and said of the experience: Barbara took our order, delivered our food, and sang to us. What fun!
In any town, it might be a good sign when you see that the local police like to eat there. Of course it means that you will probably be able to eat crime free, but it also means that the restaurant probably takes good care of the uniformed ones. Also, since they can stand to eat there many times in a month, the food is probably half decent. Of course, you could have a few officers who bond over their mutual lack of taste, but that is another story. Danna’s in Branson is one of those places with good BBQ and efficient service.
