Murder Burgers & Moveable Feasts-Lo Main and Mean Jeens

Details

This is part of my late night Friday bites. My Moveable feast. I get back to the house at 8:00. This means I can meet you guys for dinner at 8:30.

No Senior early Bird Specials folks. I may be older, but I am not ready to go grab my 4:30 meal at Piccadilly and head home to watch Walter Cronkite and hit the sack.

I am aware it's late, but it is when I can get there.

So this week will be Lo Main on where else? Main Street.

This one is a little funky off the Main Street thing.

They have a small eclectic menu. Anything from Kimchi Fried Rice to Arroz Con Elote. So their range is pretty wide.

What they're know for is the Murder Burger. A two Beef Smash patty burger.

Why is it a Murder Burger? They don't tell and I want to know.

I like funny creative menu item names, but I like a back story too if it isn't just descriptive of the food.

Like Bubble and Squeak which sounds like an intestinal problem as opposed to leftover potatoes and cabbage fried together. Come to think of it that could make you Bubble and squeak.

S.O.S. which we know is stuff on a shingle... I am being nice here folks.

Rocky Mountain Oysters. FYI these are not seafood, or oyster, but they do have their own festival in Chattanooga.

Possum Pie which is actually a chocolate pie that contains no Possum.

Cathead Biscuits are apparently biscuits as big as a cat head. Southern terms... This is kind of misleading. Someone sends you for both a sausage biscuit and a cathead biscuit with out clarifying and it could get awkward when you get back if you are a more literal than figurative person.

Anyways I am pretty sure the Murder burger does not involve a homicide, but it seems to be a thing regular people plan to go back for in the reviews. Does that make it a premeditated burger?

Not as catchy.

After lets go grab a beverage just down the road at Mean Jeen's. They claim to have the coldest Martini in town. After all this menu stuff I am pretty sure they're referring to the drink It isn't a euphemism for anything. At least I don't think so.

They do the name thing too. They have a Martini called a Forever In Bleu Jeans. named for it's Bleu Cheese stuffed olive. I don't think there are Blue jeans used, but you can ask if it you want to be sure. Safety first.

They have pool tables too.

Now I wonder how they know it's the coldest?

Do they go to other bars and ask "Can I stick my thermometer in your martini?"

Mean Jeen? Why is she so Mean?

So many questions

Anyways here is their thing
