"He liked fried catfish served at 4 way restaurant in Memphis Tennessee. Memphis likes spicy food. I'm not sure if theirs was in the 60s. if you want plain don't add the spice and deep fry anyway. It's served with a souffle cup of tartar sauce, a cornbread muffin, macaroni and cheese and collard greens."
