vegetables. We tried the grilled broccoli, grilled cabbage, the Memphis Street Corn (corn-on-the-cob seasoned with butter and Trap Fusion’s orange dry rub) and the sweet potato fries. Each was a unique spin on a classic Southern side.

Vegetables change often. They were out of the Henny Greens (turnip greens cooked down with Hennessy cognac) the night we ordered — but that one is on my list to try next time I see it as a daily special.

Trap Fusion has also made a name for itself in the vegan market. Like everything at the restaurant, even the vegan dishes like burgers and vegan “BBQ jack” sandwiches are made from scratch.

Next on my list to try is one of the vegan offerings, the stuffed turkey burger and Jerk Chicken Alfredo Pasta.

Like Gardner said, this is one of those restaurant­s you can order from several times without getting the same thing twice. I am looking forward to trying more.

Orders can be placed online at trapfusion­901.com. My only complaint with the online ordering platform is that

the online menu does not include more detailed descriptio­ns of the offerings; otherwise it was a simple and quick way to place an order.
