Last week was yet a delicious feast again. On June 27, we went back to one of our favorite neighborhoods in the Memphis area, Cooper Young. We dined at the Beautyshop and no ladies and gentlemen we did not get our hair done. We loved the decor with old beauty salon accessories......the old hair dryers and shampoo basins teasing our memories! The parking arrangement is rather strange in that all the lots around the restaurant are for other places.....none designated for The Beauty Shop. Not to worry the waiters said.......no one has been TOWED YET......it's not very crowded YET......we THINK you will be fine! Although no one was towed, you might want to think about parking on the street!We got our bellies very full. The appetizer was a yummy guacamole dip. Can you say AMAZING! Big chunks of avocado with the mushy part too.....not as liquid as at Las Delicias(?) guacamole which we also give high marks. This guac(a little restaurant lingo for you!) rated just as high! Now i will include some thoughts from our group below about their dishes:
Janice 's old fashioned, pan-fried burger was OK.
Marieta and Nelda's BLTs were very good and delicious respectively.
Meli's grilled cheese with tomato was delicious (they used provolone cheese!!!)
Fay and Norris got one of the specials : a ham and cheese crepe. Fay thought it was OK; Norris thought it was good but not great.
Shirley and Melva got the chicken sandwich with a homemade roll. Shirley thought it rated a 10 whereas Melva thought it good but not great.
Now to the best part of a meal. The desserts!!! Several desserts were ordered: chocolate crepe, one with ice cream and one without; berry crepe with ice cream; creme brûlée; and pistachio ice cream. Conclusions: creeps are better with ice cream (shocker!), creme brûlée rich, creamy & delicious; pistachio ice cream was great!
The presentation of the food was SUPERB! Kudos to the Beautyshop for presentation and food!
Overall ranking: 7.56
Now yummy chummy followers this was out last outing for June and in two weeks we will be going on excursion to Booneville for lunch and a little shopping!
Happy 4th of July to everyone!
Love the Yoummy Chummys!
