Hollywood Cafe

Saturday night we went down to Tunica and ate at the Hollywood Cafe. It is a local hole in the wall that has been made famous in the Walking in Memphis song by Marc Cohen. The restaurant is also prominently featured in the music video of the song. John Grisham also used to frequent the restaurant and included it in one of his books.

The Hollywood specializes in fried Southern food. We had fried green tomatoes, fried dill pickles and fried onion rings as an appetizer. My dad ordered fried frog legs with his meal and I was the only other one brave enough to try it. It actually was pretty good and tasted similar to a chicken wing. You just had to get over the fact that you were eating a frog.
