I'm convinced!! It makes a lot of sense that a pitmaster can turn out
a better product if he has fewer racks to worry about. I live in East
Central Florida (Indian River County); any suggestions where I could go
to sample some "state of the art" BBQ?? pb

I'll take a Neelys (either family), or a Leonard's but when it comes to
ribs, they don't buy the same quality meat we all go for. That being said
your base meat will make it or break it.

There are allot of little family joints all over town and I'll grab some
good "home cookin" if I were at a client for the day on the way home.
These
are NOT GOOD parts of town, and few if any Memphians would know of their
existance.

You don't like hanging out off 3rd or in orange mound? We run to paynes
a bit and lately a few times to central bbq. It has been a long time since
going to interstate.

I like leonards sandwich best but as for ribs, many many years ago the
original gridley's sole my heart.

What he said.

And, restaurants ahve to make ahead and keep the ribs warm while trying not
to dry them out - at home, you take them out of teh pit, let them rest a
while, and serve them.

My question
is, for those of you proud Q experts that have been to either or
both
of these rib joints, how do their ribs stack up against your own?

Oh, this is an easy question. No commercial BBQ restaurant's ribs (or
whatever else they cook) come close to home-made Q. They just don't
have the time or the patience needed.

BOB, if that was a legitimate invite to visit you and sample your
Q.....I ACCEPT!! Drop me an "E" with details. pb

I live(if you can call it living) in Memphis too . Rendezvous and Corky's are
strictly for yankee touristas. I am very partial, however, to Blues City
Cafe's ribs ,located at the west end of the Beale Street tourist trap.

Peoples on 3rd, just south of 240, was close to a client years ago. That
was great but I haven't been back in years.

Gridley's was great but they changed and not for the better.

I'll have to try Payne's and it's been a while since I last hit Central.
Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. I'll give them a try too.

I don't do Beale St. that often, but before a redbirds game????
