Lambert's is about halfway between St. Louis and Memphis, and the food
does not justify the long waits, which at traditional meal times can be
outrageous. We'll probably go there exactly one more time, when my son
is 7 or 8, just because of the throwed rolls novelty (the rolls
themselves are not very good).

There is a nice French patisserie on Poplar, not too far east of the
Brooks Museum, that's really nice. The Brooks has a Bouguereau
painting
Another couple of places in Memphis, are

http://www.frommers.com/destinations...is/D50474.html
and http://www.dancingpigs.com/ but I caution you about the BBQ in
Memphis. BY DEFAULT, they put coleslaw on your sandwich, so if you
don't like coleslaw, thell them, "No coleslaw."

There's another good taqueria further west on Winchester, and another
on the west side of Getwell, a few blocks south of I-240. If you're
from Memphis, and haven't been to one of these, let me tell you. All
three have spectacular salsas that they serve with the food, each one a
bit different, but all excellent. May I recommend a steak taco, no
cilantro?
