Raymond Robinson opened Cozy Corner on North Parkway in 1977 and put smoked Cornish hens on the menu as a small-portion BBQ option in a Black neighbourhood with limited spending power. The hens caught on through word of mouth and became Cozy Corner's defining plate, written up by Anthony Bourdain in 2014. Cozy Corner is the only place in Memphis still serving them as a regular item.
