Good news for those who care enough to correctly call it "Hopdoddy" instead of the naturally occurring "Hopdaddy" — A second of the burger bars is coming, this time to East Memphis.

Signs were recently posted at the new Poplar Commons shopping center stating Hopdoddy Burger Bar is coming soon to the building under construction at the northwest corner of Poplar and Perkins Extended.

The corner outparcel of Poplar Commons features some stone accent and a deeply shaded patio.

The city's first Hopdoddy opened this spring in Overton Square at Madison and Cooper.

That means this fancy hamburger restaurant chain arguably will occupy the premier commercial corners of both Midtown and East Memphis.

Hopdoddy started in Austin eight years ago and now has about 25 locations.

This reporter has eaten once at the Overton Square Hopdad.., uh Hopdoddy. A line extended out the door, but a hard-working host displayed leadership in taking names and the number of people in each party and then constantly scouring the tables for any openings.
