Our new favorite place

When you come across a true gem you just know it. Tonight we found one and it's our 'new favorite place'. Thanks to Chris' watching of the Travel Channel (in his eternal pining to go to the Caribbean) he found the Hollywood Cafe known for it's famous fried pickles. So because I needed an excuse to go to the Carter's outlet and buy Caro another too-cute swimsuit we decided to make a night of it in Tunica. The drive was so worth it for those fried pickles, served with ranch of course (Wilkie are you drooling?), good music and warm pecan pie.

This place is best known for giving inspiration to the song "Walking in Memphis"...

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

We'll be back!
