I have been tearing a path across the middle of the country. Today’s major stop…Memphis. Not going to Beale street or doing any sightseeing. I am here for a return visit to one place and one place only…Gus’s Famous Fried Chicken.


Just like the first time I was here about 5 years ago, the place was crowded with people waiting outside. I had to wait about 45 minutes before they could seat me. It was worth the wait.

I had a fried chicken plate with fried okra and mac & cheese as the sides. The chicken was just as delicious as I remember and still ranks as the best I have ever had.
Has anyone ever watched the First 48 on A&E? If so, you may recognize the building below…

A couple of pictures that include the Mississippi and a scene or two before I left Memphis…
