Did anybody see the segment on the Travel Channel the other day rating
different styles of barbecue from around the country? Apparently, the
panel of taste testers decided Memphis Style was the most delicious.
Does anybody know how to prepare "Memphis Style" barbecue?

Response: Yes, I watch that special also.
But I learned a long time ago a group of panelist whether they are
cowboys, food critics, or a newspaper review don't speak for myself or
alot of other people.
There is a Memphis Smokehouse restaurant near me and the waiting time
for a table is long enough that the manager supplies beepers to
customers so they can walk around the nearby shops till they are paged.
Never having tried Memphis barbecue -just Texas style I went to this
place when the crew of the Howard Stern show was visting.
The food was crap and so was the famous barbecue sauce.
But after 3 hours of waiting I did get Crack Head Bob's autograph for an
extra $5.00.
