January Foodiememphis Gathering: RAWK'n Grub






Hello my fellow foodie friends out there!

I am excited to announce this month's gathering is going to be 7 P.M. January 28th at RAWK'nGrub on Poplar. If you are not sure where it is, its inside the Growler pub...or maybe you might know it better as the old High Tone. When I first decided to get foodiememphis back up and running, Steph Cook was one of the first people I contacted.

I worked with Steph a few years back at another restaurant, so I can personally vouch for this guy's skills. I have watched him just whip up some amazing creations on the fly. The menu he created at the restaurant is incredible. I've been several times for lunch, and have yet to find anything that is less that spectacular.
