There is nothing special about it, Bill. It is barbecue, some great and some
bad, cooked in Memphis. You can find good and bad barbecue in almost every
region of the country. Certain areas, like Memphis and Kansas City, have
larger numbers of 'Q joints than some other similarly sized areas, but
that's about it.

I think it's pork-based with tomato-based sauces.

He might be asking more for what it's know for, you know, tomato based
sauces, etc. Like Texas BBQ is associated with Brisket, Carolina's pulled
pork and either mustard or vinegar sauce on the side. I kind of forget what
Kansas City and Memphis' specialties are supposed to be. I'm thinkin it's
the tomato based sauce for Memphis, but might have it wrong.

You could be right. Since I don't think of barbecue as the sauces, I guess
I just plain missed that distinction. :-)

They are also known for dry rubbed ribs. No sauce.

Most KC joints I've eaten at had sauce you could frost a cake with.
waaaay too much sugar.

Pork pulled and slaw on the sandwich.
Ribs actually both, dry and wet. Sweet tomato sauces but also just as many
with vinegar combos.

This paper seems to be pretty well researched. Scan the page for the
word "Memphis", which appears a couple of times.

Towards the end of the first paragraph: "...the beef and mesquite of Texas
simply do not qualify as barbecue..."

He sure do have a pretty mouf.

Yeah, as a Texan, I take exception to that statement. But the rest of it
seemed well informed.

That yahoo also has the bald-faced gall to utter the words:

"The simple vinegar sauces of the East Coast were supplanted by the sweet
tomato sauce of Memphis and the fiery red Texas swab. In western Kentucky,
mutton was substituted for pork, and the cattle ranchers of Texas used
barbecue techniques for slow-cooking beef (with these innovations,
southwestern Texans and western Kentuckians put themselves irrevocably
outside the "barbecue belt").

What's this guy thinking? First of all, it's CENTRAL TEXAS that has the
great BBQ traditions....not SW TEXAS.

And where does this miscreant get off by referring to a "fiery red Texas
swab". Texas is home to BBQ by smoke, not by sauce. In all the great
Central Texas BBQ joints, the sauce is an optional additive, often not
available in the best places. We like our BBQ served wrapped up in butcher
paper, that's it!

This guy obviously had deep-seated biases and probably is agoraphobic
(seeing as how he couldn't come down to Texas to see for himself) to have
written such a bolus of drivel.

Their "wet" ribs are nothing special so that is why they are not "known" for
them. That is not to say that they are not good. I have had some exceptional
"wet" memphis ribs, but the dry ribs are a unique treat.

My apologies to Lou. Having lurked here for a couple weeks, I didn't
realize there was a Lou out there already. I've changed my accout settings
to try to avoid confusion.

I also read a few threads about AFB etiquette. Sorry I didn't snip the
irrelevant stuff the first time.
