Any recommendations for what you're talking about in Memphis then?
We're about to take a trip back to that area, and we're usually
through Memphis about lunch time so almost always stop for BBQ.  We
usually go to Corky's or the Rendezvous (except for last time, when it
was Monday and we found out that the Rendezvous is closed on Mondays.
We ended up at B.B. King's Blues Club on Beale Street for lunch, which
actually had some pretty decent BBQ -- the sauce was a little sweet,
but for this blues fan and used-to-be guitar-hack, eating surrounded
by guitars on the walls from B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Eric
Clapton was a hell of an experience...).
