I have a business trip to Memphis coming up. I've had to go several times over the past two years, and I've made it a point to hit as many BBQ joints as I can, although many of the trips I've only had enough time to hit one or two places. I am at an impasse and I ask you, the BBQ aficianados of SF for some advice.
This is where I've been so far:
Rendezvous - felt like I had to go here, since it seems to be the standard bearer. Overall, a fun place to eat, but I was not super impressed with the ribs. I'd go back though.
BBQ Shop - perhaps the best BBQ I've eaten in Memphis. Super delicious.
The Commissary - a very close second to BBQ Shop. The only problem is that it's all the way out in Germantown.
Blues City - had to go here once as a matter of convenience, and was not that psyched with the results.
Corky's - better than I expected given that it's essentially a chain, but not quite up to the standards
The only other place on my list of must-eats is the Cozy Shack. What else is there? Help me Styleforum...
