I've been out of town this week so no smoking for me. Spent a week on the gulf but we are staying at The Guest House At Graceland in Memphis tonight. On the way in we stopped at the Memphis Barbecue Co to try it out their fare since I've watched Melissa Cookston on BBQ Pit Master's many times. I had a little of everything. Her chopped pork was good as well as her sausage. The ribs were okay, very tender. The chicken was tasty and tender but the skin sucked and really I didn't like the way if was cut up. The brisket wasn't sliced properly across the grain so it pulled apart like a roast and it tasted a little like a roast. My brisket blows what I had today away. Of course I cook one and they probably cook hundreds to maybe a thousand pounds a day so that's a lot of quality control. Had a shrimp app that was pretty good. The beans were decent but I didn't care for the slaw. I couldn't taste any horseradish. The Red Beans and Rice had nice flavor but I like a little more gravy than what they served. Memphis Style seems a little lighter than KC style so you don't fill up as fast. All in all I've had better and cooked better but it was still good and made my tummy happy. After all it's BBQ and BBQ is good!
We had left overs because we ordered way to much so offered it to the valet when we got to the hotel. He pounced on it!
