Episode 7 Memphis: Resident Advice

This episode features a special guest host, Kiera, currently a writer in LA. Having lived in Memphis, Tennessee for several years, she advises visitors on what to see and where to eat. She has a wealth of knowledge about Memphis and we get into varied discussions including Elvis and what you actually see at Graceland, touring Sun Studios downtown, how bars are connected by tunnels built during the Prohibition era, the Gibson guitar factory and the delicious menu items at a restaurant called the ‘Kooky Canuck’ (and their burger challenge).

Correction! In the episode Kiera mentions a 6 lb burger challenge at the Kooky Canuck. It is actually a 4 lb burger challenge, fries optional, 1 hour limit. Best time 4 min 43 s! (Thanks to @kookycanuck)
