Table Talk: Bonus tips on FedExForum food and a must-try Downtown dish

Be proud Memphis. Every city with sports teams tries to come up with some locally specific signature stadium/arena food and few have nailed it as thoroughly.
You can still get your tub of barbecue nachos, pork or chicken, from Rendezvous if you go to the Grizzlies’ first home preseason game on Thursday.
The new gets attention, but here’s a small cheer for continuity of the good.
FedExForum conducted a food tour of sorts this week, and I was there to take it in. (So much in fact that I skipped dinner that night.)
Here are a few bonus observations from that tour.
