MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
When searching for barbecue in Memphis, you’re never more than a stone’s throw away from some pork ribs and chopped pork sandwiches. Memphis-style pork is served usually with a sauce that doesn’t contain all the sugar seen in bbq from other states.
To get a feel of barbeque history, taste the pork shoulder sandwich or pork ribs at Charlie Vergos Rendezvous. In 1948, a cook there added paprika and broiled ribs over charcoal, helping to turn ribs from unwanted leftover meat into a delicious meal.
You can also stop by Payne’s Bar-B-Que for one of the city’s best cut pork sandwiches, where they are made with smoked pork shoulder and serve with a spicy red sauce.
For the best ribs, check out Central BBQ. While Memphis is known for its dry-rubbed ribs, these ribs are some of the best in town, wet or dry. These baby backs are tender, meaty, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of smoke.
