Published

During the summer between my first and second years of medical school, I had the wonderful opportunity to be involved with some great clinical research with a few really great doctors at Vanderbilt. Since then we've published an abstract at the American Thoracic Society. I also did a poster presentation at the St. Jude Student Research Presentation at UT. But this week, our paper was finally published in CHEST after much hard work! Needless to say, we were quite excited.

Thunder Road in Memphis




This weekend my parents paid us a visit in Memphis. Since I had been working last weekend, we celebrated as psuedofather's day today. I attempted to recreate the "Thunder Road" burger that originates at Litton's on Broadway in Knoxville. The concoction formed between the buns includes a burger, a slathering of pimento cheese, and grilled onions.



This was my first attempt to create the specialty myself - and it went fairly well if I don't say so myself. Homemade pimento cheese, Memphis' own Folk's Folly ground prime, and onions off the grill.

Now tell me you don't want one of these delicious creations.


Happy PseudoFather's Day Dad!
