“The subject matter of my art varies, but my first love has always been faces.”

And Elvis possessed one of the most sensual, expressive faces of all time.

According to Betty, “There was some-

And the food's Killer Diller too! Just as you'd expect from the man who has "somethin in the oven."

Starters are sizzling & include such selections as Rockin' Red Beans & Rice & Jerry Lee's Sausage & Chicken Gumbo, followed by marvelous salads – like the Beale St. BBQ Salad – & soul-satisfying entrees: Pulled Pork Shoulder, Gulf Coast Shrimp, Louisiana Seafood, Memphis BBQ Ribs

Jason James burns up the ivories Fri. & Sat. at Jerry Lee Lewis' Cafe & Honky Tonk on Beale.

And sandwiches, from burgers to po-boys, great sides & Triple Chocolate Cake to finish.

Atmosphere? Dine in the Honky Tonk Cafe, hand out in the Backstage Bar, or kick back & settle in for great music & terrific food on the Flaming Fountain Courtyard.

Jerry Lee Lewis' Cafe & Honky Tonk is at 310 Beale St., open daily for lunch & dinner, with live entertainment & dancing nightly.

MATA Trolleys Return To

The Garage For Safety Updates! Lime-Green Hybrid Buses Roll In To Keep The Routes Running!

Service on all trolley rail lines has been temporarily suspended for renovations. But don't worry. Alternate service for the trolley lines is being provided through shuttles on MATA's new green hybrid electric buses. Trolley fares and hours of service remain the same - trolley passes will be accepted on bus shuttles.

So you'll still be able to get from the Pinch District and the Memphis Cook Convention Center, run past Civic Center Plaza and Court Square, and go all the way to Peabody Place and Beale Street, the FedEx Forum, Nationals Civil Rights Museum and the South Main Historic Arts District.

And you'll still be able to travel the Riverfront Loop, and take in the Tennessee Welcome Center, Mud Island and the Mississippi River Museum and the panoramic beauty of the 5-block long River Walk.

As with the trolleys, the lime-green buses will be pulling into the station about every 10 to 15 minutes. On the Madison Avenue Line, frequency slows to about every 25 minutes after 6 p.m. and on Sundays.

Check the map on the back of the magazine for station locations, schedules and fares. Or call 901-274-MATA (6282) or visit matatransit.com.
