Did anybody see the segment on the Travel Channel the
other day rating different styles of barbecue from around
the country? Apparently, the panel of taste testers
decided Memphis Style was the most delicious. Does anybody
know how to prepare "Memphis Style" barbecue?

I do not know what they do in Memphis as far as BBQ goes. We
had a restaurant here called Memphis' Best BBQ claiming
authentic Memphis BBQ. It was GodAwful.

Hi Bill! Jill in Memphis here 🙂 I didn't see that show but
I have to tell you... there are so many styles of Q in
Memphis it's not funny. What were they featuring? Ribs?
Pulled pork shoulder? Sauces? and if sauces, vinegar
vs. mustard based?

- Response: Yes, I watch that special also. But I learned a
long time ago a group of panelist whether they are cowboys,
food critics, or a newspaper review don't speak for myself
or alot of other people. There is a Memphis Smokehouse
restaurant near me and the waiting time for a table is long
enough that the manager supplies beepers to customers so
they can walk around the nearby shops till they are paged.
Never having tried Memphis barbecue -just Texas style I went
to this place when the crew of the Howard Stern show was
visting. The food was [censored] and so was the famous barbecue
sauce. But after 3 hours of waiting I did get Crack Head
Bob's autograph for an extra $5.00.

Hey Jill, They did'nt actually show the group of people in
California doing the taste test as they were eating each
sample so I don't know exactly what they ate. They just said
it was Memphis Style!

Which, by the way, are the best ribs ever and what I prefer
in the way of "Memphis". They make all kinds of dry ribs.
Even lamb ribs!

We have a Corky's Barbeque from Memphis here in middle
TN. UGH!

Pulleeeze don't think Corky's exemplifies "Memphis
Barbeque". They claim to, but I have to tell you that's some
of the worst Q I've ever tasted.

I thought "Memphis style" just meant you put a scoop of
coleslaw on your barbecue sandwich.

There's a Corky's just outside of New Orleans. I went there
for the first time a couple of weeks ago to grab a sandwich.
I got better barbeque when I lived in Boston. It was easily
the worst I've eaten.

i taped that show on my pc (with a capture card) but
clipped off the end where they had their "barbecue
olympics". that was pretty stupid. i mean, i think you've
got to taste them, and you may find you like 'em all. i did
really like the first 2/3 of the show though. they hit all
of the famous places and talked to many of the "barbecue
men" who ran them.

(i think i make pretty good barbecue, but i haven't been
running a pit for 50 years.)

they said they "brought in" the barbecue for some
cowboys to taste.

i don't know who thought that would mean anything ... at
best it was shipped overnight ... what would that mean?

it was a competition for "The Best Day-Old Que!"

That Rudy's (Ruby's?) BBQ joint - "the Worst BBQ ever" - in
Texas looked interesting. The brisket was so juicy. Has
anyone ever been there?

You got me there - mine are better! But lets just say if
you gotta buy ribs at a restaurant, Rendezvous is really
top notch!
