RIBS?????


Recommended Posts

I know the people from Memphis will object, but I haven't had any really good BBQ since I moved down here from Kansas City. As far as what's around here, I have come accustomed to Famous Dave's. I like their Devil's Spit!

No objection at all, I love a good brisket, took me 2 yrs to learn how to season and cook it tender.

That being said, I don't think you quite understand, you can roast, grill, slow cook, bake, smoke etc beef all you want and it's good BUT

Barbecue consists of a DEAD PIG, cows got nuthin' to do with it.

What is KC bbq like? This side of the mountains, you got a more tomato based sauces, you go east of the Smokies you get into a more vinegar based. What does KC have?

Tomato based. They smoke the meat first and then carmalize sauce on the ribs before serving. Famous Dave's does that too, but it took me awhile to find a place that does that as standard. When I first moved down here I made the mistake of going to Witt's...thought I made one hell of a mistake moving down here based on that experience!

I thought that Memphis was all about vinegar based sauce? That's what I heard anyways.

Witt's is terrible. I don't even consider it BBQ.

Well, stay away from Calhouns. Mike Chase has made a big splash about there will be no carry in any of MY restaurants. He's seen the last of my cash.

Another thing about Corkys, see the rolls up there, yep those, well they look like your standard dinner roll, but the out side is toasted enough to be a nice hard crust that is transparent for a little bit due to the amount of butter....man those things are goooooooooooooood!

Already have, the company I work for is based in Dallas. Years ago, they had a co "bq". Went there and all they had was beef. Asked my boss & the owner where the bq was and explained it to them the same way . They came to Memphis and now they understand. LOL!!

Whitts is to BBQ as Taco Bell is to Mexican food. :shake:

There was a post somewhere on here yesterday that it was reported by a Knoxville paper that the Calhouns there weren't posted. Something about seeing what the competition was going to do first. LOLOLOL

I don't know if the White Bridge Rd one here is posted or not.

What is the name of that BBQ place on West Trinity Lane, on the "other side" if I-65? Good BBQ. I think they have every kind, wet and dry, they even have brisket. It is on the left just over the rise. Like someone said earlier in this thread, the best BBQ is in the worst neighborhoods.

Pizza and 'Q all in the same week? It's just too much for me take at one time.

I hold a great passion for the Q. Truth be told, I find fondness in many different varieties and settings. I enjoy good ribs better than anything, but won't turn down pulled/chopped pork or beef. A good texas style brisket is hard to come by. Generally speaking, I prefer a dry rub on my rib, maybe a side of sauce just to add additional zing. But a good dry rub certainly doesn't require it.

I've sampled many regions curbside delicacies and fanciers' bests.... from mustard to mayonnaise based sauces and all points in between. Honestly, I'm just dawdling, here, as I'm not really sure how to start to unload some great locations...

let me try with this: Southern Foodways Alliance BBQ documentary project

Maybe this direct link is better... they've changed their site, again.

Southern Foodways Alliance, Tennessee

Included from that page is an interview done for the project. Larry and Lisa Profitt are entrepreneurs but the established recipes were first created by Larry's mother. I realize this isn't about the ribs... but if you like barbeque and you've never been to the Ridgewood for a sandwich... well, it's damn near blasphemy.

Frankly, you should start at the Ridgewood and work your way west, ending at Memphis. That is, after all, the natural progression of the historical nature of barbeque and the regional adaptations encountered along the way. Barbeque roots run deep and, for many, are as easily differentiated as salt water is to fresh water.
