Memphis Minnie's

When I'm in the mood for corn bread, I sort of need it immediately. In my opinion, the best place for a corn bread muffin and some BBQ is at Memphis Minnie's on lower Haight.

First of all, the place is located in the grunge of lower Haight, and has 12 zillion pigs everywhere:

My friend Taylor and I tried out Memphis Minnie's for the first time last year, and I had a sort of 'soup nazi' experience. You are not allowed to sit down until you've ordered. The menu has soo many things on it, and of course I panicked at the thought of not getting all the best things:

So, the first time we ordered we get this 'funny' man who I apparently tried to joke with, and then he made some rude comment about how I wasn't going to get my food. It was awkward, confusing and weird, and ever since then, I make Taylor do the ordering (which she not-so-secretly enjoys), while I stand behind her whispering 'corn bread muffin! mac n cheese! dont forget the mac n cheese!'.

Anyway, I breathed a sigh of relief when Mr. Nice Guy wasn't there last night, and instead we had a really cute girl.

Anyhoo, instead of branching out we got our normal array:

Cole slaw, the BEST mac n cheese, two cornbread muffins, and sweet potatoes (meh, won't get those again).

Then we share the pulled pork sandwich with steak fries:

Memphis Minnie's has a ton of BBQ sauces to choose from, and I usually use all of them in some proportion on the pulled pork. It is dee-licious, and void of any sketchy pieces of meat which is hard to find at some places!

We polished off our meal and then headed down the street to get ice cream at a place called Three Twins Ice Cream. This made no sense at all because 1) we were full and 2) it was FREEZING outside. Anyway, we tried the lemon cookie ice cream (to die for) and I ended up getting that and peanut butter cookie, in a cup, with a waffle cone on top. Then I got chocolate all over my favorite cream-colored pashmina.

the end!
