Today is National Hot Dog Day, which means it's the one day of the year ketchup and mustard become personality traits.

In today's edition:

…plus hot dogs, HYROX, trinket trading and more.

Let’s get into it.

Food

If your ideal Saturday morning starts with a fluffy, buttery breakfast sandwich instead of an alarm clock, you'll want to set a reminder.

After selling out at previous events, butteryolk is hosting its third breakfast pop-up this Saturday, serving its signature breakfast sandwiches with a new preorder system designed to keep the lines moving.

Here's what to know:

Coffee and specialty drinks will also be available from DVOUR while you wait… or while you pretend you're just there for the caffeine.

Family Fun

The FedEx St. Jude Championship is one of Memphis' biggest annual sporting events. This year it's becoming one of the city's best family outings, too.

Whether your kids are future PGA stars or just want to chase down some autographs, this year's tournament is becoming one of the best values on Memphis' event calendar.

Real Estate

One of East Memphis' most recognizable skyline fixtures could soon be changing hands.

Clark Tower has officially been listed for sale, making it one of the largest commercial real estate listings in the city in recent years.

The 34-story office tower has been an East Memphis landmark since the early 1980s and remains one of the tallest buildings outside of Downtown.
