Chiwawa: Because Memphis summers are hot and you need liquor in your sno-cones.

We are really enjoying this Memphis Flyer profile of Chiwawa, the new hot dog/taco/adult popsicle joint opening up at 2059 Madison near Overton Square:

Enter: Chiwawa, the buzzy new spot on Madison in the former, long shuttered Chicago Pizza Factory. Oh yes, they will have "adult" sno-cones with tequila and whiskey. They'll also have boozy popsicles and cheap and tasty street foods and small plates (all between $3 and $8) by Chef Crash Hethcox, formerly of Revival Southern food truck, and Travis Tungseth. They'll be plating a variety of hotdogs and brats (including some veggie dogs!), french fries and sweet-and-spicy ketchup, elote (grilled corn covered with spicy mayonnaise and sprinkled with cotija cheese), quesadillas, tacos, homemade chips and salsa, and their signature "Juantons," a chicken and cheese mix stuffed into wonton wrappers and fried.

Adult sno-cones. For the alcoholic who's still just a child at heart.

SOLD.

According to the Flyer, we'll all be able to enjoy this new place sometime mid-week. So...um, Thursday for Happy Hour, y'all? Let's go with that.
