Memphis is being gentrified massively right now. We can find a house for $100k, and the next street over is $250k. There’s money to be made right now in the Memphis market. Memphis is in the beginning stages of what Birmingham currently is. Memphis is home of Dyer Hamburgers I believe........have you ever tried one........been wanting one since I watched a video on youtue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a Dyer’s not 5 minutes from my house in the ‘burbs. Never tried it. I’m all about Sear Shack though.

Memphis is bbq king. Memphis is hands down BBQ King of the southeast but behind Kansas City and Texas in my opinion. But I go absolutely nuts for ribs whenever I'm through there. Obviously I get them dry at Rendezvous. My favorite in Memphis is probably BBQ Shack. I do love sauce, especially since there are so many regional variations. But no matter where you are, yeah, if it's not good dry then it's not good BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis is bbq king. Agreed. However, I always baste the ribs with the sticky stuff after I pull them. Not a bath, just a light coating. Nothing worse than soggy, slippy-sloppy. I'm not a fan of "fall off the bone" either. Meat needs to fall off in my mouth, not on the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't pin the supply-side analysis down quite so definitively; sort'a like some of the mustard-based treatments I've found in western Carolinas as well.

From a demand-side (a repost?), however: Fascinating. Not shocked to see Missouri further down the list- much of the culture (population?) seems to be concentrated around KC and STL- but Texas being 4th definitely surprises me. Perhaps the Mexican/TexMex culture occupies a higher percentage of the Texan consciousness than any non-BBQ food culture does the Alabamian, Tennessean or especially Oklahoman? There are certainly lots of other things to choose from in Texas metros, which dwarf anything in those other states except maybe Nashville. I've been trying to avoid ever going back to Oklahoma, but I might have to reconsider. And please don't let us know the science, or lack thereof, behind these findings. Edit: S. Carolina mustard, N. Carolina vinegar, KC ketchup, Texas ketchup/vinegar/spicy... I think BBQ is what Lee Greenwood was really singing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 I will say that I like the S. Carolina mustard on the side, I just don’t know many others who do, so it’s rarely available as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere down here, but most of it is basically just slightly spicier honey mustard. Basically it's like KC sauce for me- most of it is that sticky sweet mess you mentioned, but some of it is really great *as a compliment* to the meat. Btw, there seems to be a "Savannah style" rib that combines the slow grilling technique with S. Carolina mustard sauce. Trick's and Randy's are the two places that do them this way. If you've been the Fat Matt's in Atlanta, the ribs are similar, just with different sauce. Fat Matt's does have pretty great sauce, btw. Their rib and chicken combo was a go-to for me.
