all exits look the same

memphis. again. LRB decided to check out the memphis botanical garden. some pre roadtrip googling found the garden had an interesting on-site restaurant which is a member of project green fork. k. convenient location. a green mindset. a highbrow menu. i’m in.
 

while checking out fratelli’s menu, a freebie arrives; a ramekin full of black & green olives. cute. the menu offers daily soup, panini, focaccia sandwiches, salads, signature iced tea and freshly squeezed lemonade. first order out was the curried squash soup. good, especially good if you don’t make soups at home. i think my soup is better. but, yeah, this was good. the layered cobb salad was next, pretty boring choice if you look at the 40+ item menu. but, i was in a salad kind of mood. the chicken was grilled, tender and moist, the eggs were minus the green ring, and the vinaigrette was house made. yum. and to wash it all down, check out fratelli’s iced tea, it’s a sweetened blend of black, raspberry & peach tea, pretty tasty, but the freshly squeezed lemonade was tastier. grab your bag and grab your coat.
