Knock Knock... Part I

Friday, January 25,2013

Last Friday night our good friends Jason and Brittney were in town...what a great excuse to get out and see Memphis!!! If you know Brittney, you know that she loves deals as well as good food. So naturally she was all over helping us find places to go the next morning.

For lunch we went to Gus's World Famous Hot and Spicy Fried Chicken in Collierville. Steve and I had been there before a couple of times and every time we have, it has been VERY HOT..as Austin would say "Brittany don't touch it!". The chicken has a kick to it, but not too spicy.

To help the food settle, we (as in Brittney and I) went for a walk around the square in Collierville. The boys stayed in the car hacking portals (Steve and Jason were playing Ingress, a beta game that is like geocaching). There are a bunch of little shops and some little cafe's/diners in the square that remind me of a little old town; complete with a gazebo that has invisible steps for me to trip up.

While we were there we came across a frozen yogurt shop named YOLO...I know what you're thinking, but hey, like the acronym you do only live once. So we made a plan that after dinner we would go. I am so glad we did!!!

For dinner that night we had Interstate BBQ. Jason, Brittney, and myself wanted to go to Rendezvous but Steve is not a big fan of vinegar based BBQ sauce. Interstate was really good. Steve and I split the BBQ nachos and a half slab of ribs (we are trying to see who's ribs we like best). The employee's there are very nice. We were talking to one of the wait staff and he told us how his brother had just moved to Texas for a job and was renting out his house here in Memphis (sounds familiar).

Now back to the best part of the night YOLO!!! Well the best part besides being with friends that is. We had been looking at their website all day and noticed that one of their other locations had gelato as well. Even though I am part Italian, I am sorry to say I had never knowingly had gelato before. Boy oh boy was I missing out. I went with frozen yougurt route though but Steve got the Tiger Remember when I told your Brittney loves a deal? While we were checking out YOLO's website we signed up for their loyalty rewards and got a coupon for free 7oz. frozen yogurt. I ended up getting my cup of froyo for 83 CENTS! Gotta love deals!! Also if you check in on foursquare you can get 10% off!!!

I'll be posting part II this coming Tuesday, so don't forget to check back!
