Pizza, Movie and a Magic Show

Friday nights in my home is a normally a no cook night and after leaving work early, due to gastric problems I was more than thrilled when Keithon asked for pizza for dinner. Sadly in Memphis there only a handful of place that have vegan cheese and only two places that have vegan cheese in midtown. So we headed to Trolley Stop Market since we haven't been there in awhile.  Trolley Stop is cool because the vast majority of the products are locally grown by farmers, they also have locally made items and they carry a lot of the products from the farms for you to take home. Trolley Stop is not a vegan restaurant but they do have a vegan and vegetarian section on their menu that is nothing to scoff at.

  Another great thing about Trolley Stop is they have no clue what portion control is and I learned this on my 1st visit. I ordered a calzone that took me three days to eat. So on this visit I knew better. Keithon and I opted for the build your own 10 inch pizza. This was more than enough for just the two of us. We loaded our pizza with mushrooms, black olives and spinach. The dough at Trolley Stop is deep dish style so it is thick and soft.

  Trolley Stop has made a few changes since my last visit as well. The bar has been extended and they now have a projector to show movies. To our surprise they are testing Fridays as a family night. Last night's movie was Monster's Inc. Keithon owns this movie but he wanted to stay and some of it. I didn't mind I used that time to type my blog post.

Along with the movie there was also a Magic Show! Who doesn't love a good magic show. Now I have been to magic shows before but this was my 1st time seeing a show that was up close and EVERY trick included me! (Ok maybe more Keithon than me but I did get to do one trick.) Tim Friday is not your normal magician oh no! He performs sleight of hand magic up close! For the life of me I can not explain how he turned the two balls he put into my hand to four when I opened my hand. I actually squealed like a child. Keithon on the other hand was the calm one when Tim Friday pulled a playing card from his wallet that Keithon wrote his name on. Mind you the wallet was in his back pocket zipped! Keithon just looked at me and I told him "son I can't explain it". I love that Tim really enjoys his craft. He really involves whoever he is performing for. Plus he actually remembered and pronounced our names correctly! He is a great magician and an awesome performer. Check him out Friday night's at Trolley Stop from 6:30 till 8 or on the first Thursday night at Tin Roof in Nashville from 11pm to 1am. You won't be disappointed trust me.

So if you are in the mood for a good slice of pie or a Magic Show stop by Trolley Stop. The food is great, farm to table and the magician is sure to bring a smile to your face.
