Memphis, Tenn-a-key was the featured destination on last night's episode of Man v. Food, that show on the Travel Channel about a winsome, roadtripping bulimic dude. They stopped at Gus's (saintly, genius, nothing-compares fried chicken), The Rendezvous (famous and mediocre BBQ), The Arcade (old and quaint spot with awful food, service and prices), and The Kooky Canuck (originally, the Big Foot Lodge), the scene of his big binge, the central premise. This restaurant specializes in a cartoonish 7 lbs. "contest" burger, cookies the circumference and depth of skillets, and 34 oz. cocktails (for $9.99!!). It is foul and dangerous and terrible, a den of shame with a totally inexplicable Pacific Northwest theme. And I have become OBSESSED with their website. Pages and pages of snaps. The most miserable people and that damn burger.
