Title: Memphis BBQ Company
Post by: BAM1 on April 28, 2014, 11:34:25 PM
On our way back from Que Du Smoke we stopped in Memphis for a couple days to eat some ribs.  We did four joints in 20hrs. Out of the four we both agreed that the Memphis BBQ Company was the best of the four.

We asked our server if the owner, Melissa Cookston was ever there.  She told us she's there everyday unless she's filming or competing and seconds later she walked by our table and said hello.  We got a full slab 1/2 wet and 1/2 dry.  They didn't disappoint that for sure.

She's not a 3 time world champion for nothing.  We also tried the cheese ball appetizer that was on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives.  They were awesome too.  Next time your passing through Memphis give her a try, it's right off I-55

I assume that this Memphis BBQ http://memphisbbqco.com/ (http://memphisbbqco.com/) located in Memhips TN is not the same as this Memphis BBQ http://www.memphis-bbq.com/ (http://www.memphis-bbq.com/) that we have out here in Vegas.
