Sometimes a getaway can be as simple as a drive on a highway and having dinner somewhere unique. If that appeals to you, may I suggest a trip down Highway 51 to Covington, TN, for an evening in the country at Turner Angus Pizza Farm. First, yes, pizza farm and some of the best pizza around. Second, it’s a delightful change to rural scenery, complete with rolling hills and livestock, for a unique al fresco dinner experience.

The month of May will forever mean BBQ to me. It’s the first thing I think of when the month rolls around-thanks Memphis in May BBQ Fest. For many years, we had friends stay with us the week of the festival. I wanted something I could make every year as a welcome treat and introduction to the festival so I came up with this recipe. These baby backs are slightly chocolaty from the cocoa with a hint of sweetness from the cola, but they’re overall savory and finger-licking good-inspired by the best BBQ in the world. I bring these to every cookout we go to, and they fly off the platter quicker than anything else with nearly everyone there asking me for the recipe or to “please make these again next time.”

The 2026 GPAC Gala was held on Saturday, April 18 at their hidden-gem of a venue located in the heart of Germantown. The evening kicked off with a cocktail party in the Patrick Lawton Lobby featuring tasty bites prepared by Moondance Grill, Villa Castrioti, and Sufi’s Mediterranean Grill & Bar and a signature craft cocktail created by GPAC’s own Master Mixologist, Brad Pitts. Partygoers took to the stage in the Highland Capital Performance Hall, where a delicious dinner was served by one of Memphis favorite restaurateurs, Chef Erling Jensen. The celebrations continued with an exhilarating live auction and a performance from Memphis Soul Remedy, who had guests dancing the night away! This evening of fine dining, live music, and fundraising in the name of supporting the arts and arts education was incredibly successful and a night to remember! gpacweb.com

Spring has sprung and then some. School is winding down, and we are on the cusp of vacation season. It is not too hot yet (though depending on what day or what hour you read this it might be unbearably hot or slightly chilly), and we are just poised to enjoy a lovely variety of outdoor activities from the Overton Park Shell to the GPAC Grove to the Collierville Square. There are more options than we have time, and aren’t we lucky? For those days which are not or rainy or both - or you just want a change up - there are ample plays, art shows, and even ballet on Beale (with a surprise vocalist Kortland Whalum - oops did I spoil the surprise?). So go have fun before it really gets hot! -Ken Hall

The AutoZone Liberty Bowl has been a Memphis tradition for over 60 years, and the President’s Gala was a premier party held on the eve of the game between University of Cincinnati and the US Naval Academy. Held at the Peabody Hotel, a cocktail reception was followed by an elegant dinner
and a performance by country music star Matt Stell. The head coaches’ wives were honored and University dignitaries were also recognized. Matt was selected to receive the 2025 AutoZone Liberty Bowl Outstanding Achievement Award. Each year, this award is presented by the AutoZone Liberty Bowl and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in recognition of excellence in the field of music and entertainment. This time-honored recognition dates back to the early years of St. Jude and its founder, entertainer Danny Thomas. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl is much more than a game-it has had a $1.1B economic impact for Memphis and $6M donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. libertybowl.org
