Automatic Slim's in Memphis

I went to Automatic Slim's in Memphis a couple of weeks ago. It's across the street from the Peabody Hotel, on the west side. Not traditional Memphis or Southern food but me and the gf had a very good meal.
Appetizers
1. Bacon wrapped fried plantains. Very good.
2. Spring Rolls. usually I'm not a big fan, but these were pretty good. They advertised fresh ingredients and they delivered.
Entree
1. I had the Jamaican Jerk Duck. I'm a big fan of duck and their's was excellant.
2. The girlfriend had the seared Tempeh, the vegatarian special. This was a highly unusual choice for her bc she is not a vegatarian. I've never seen her order a vegatarian dish for an entree (Veg grape leaves as an appatizer, yes). I was very skeptical, but hey, she had her reasons for ordering it, and really, who cares? Would I recommend it? No. Was it bad? No. I actually liked the seasoning (citrus) and it had a nice thin crust.
I think any place that can sear a tempeh dish that I would eat, deserves a shot. Either that or I should expand my non-meat entree choices and I could judge it better!
Wine list is short but adequate. We had an Estancia or two.

seared Tempeh,
i tried this the other week at lunch, and i was very pleasantly surprised. Would i ever crave it? hell no. But, i was pleased with the dish and it was a nice change of pace.
like the name....Automatic Slim's. is a place in the west village of NYC of the same name with some cheap beer specials.
