title: Memphis: Sweet, Spicy & a Little Greasy
author:  Susan Schadt 
description: When I travel and perform, I talk a lot about Memphis and when people ask me about it, I tell them that my background in Memphis helps to define me. I love Memphis. Memphis is so real.<br />~Valerie June, singer, songwriter and<br />nominee for a Blues Music Award in June 2014<br />for her debut album Pushin Against a Stone. (Valerie June)|I have always wanted to do a three-day fire and bring together a group of chefs and artisans for a camp-type experience in a secluded area, build a fire and cook threeor four days meals off that fire. The idea was for people to camp three days and stay on the property. We would serve breakfast, lunch and dinner each day, and then each guest would write a story about it. To make it work for ArtsMemphis, we changed it up but we still had the communal lighting of the fire, the dinner and then the brunch.<br />~Chef Miles McMath, Director of Culinary Operations<br />St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital (Chef Miles McMath)

  Memphis Love
  It’s no damn secret; I’m a dirty dog. The foundation of my childhood
  sculpted me along with the path Mom carved out for me. The woman put a
  roof over our head, filled my belly, and made sure I had everything I needed
  and more importantly, wanted. Our world centered around the two of us.
  Like Momma like son, the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree, and whatever
