| FOOD Best BBQ In Memphis

Elwood’s Shack on Summer. The rest are just plain BBQ.

That's funny as hell. That's right around the block from Central BBQ. I have an "ex" that lives on Berclair ... my family still has property on Tutwiler...near Waring.

Irish grillpub on Beale street (Silky O'Sullivan's) has better ribs than Rendesvoux.

Go figure.

And Rendesvoux is good, no doubt.

Silky's ribs are just better.

Dry or wet?

The answer is Corky's.

Oh, Marlowe's is pretty good too...down there close to Graceland.

Corky's is the only one I have eaten at.

If Corky's was seafood it would be called Cap'n D's.

Ya'll need to get some better Q.

I’m not laughing, maybe others are. Eaten at most every BBQ spot in Memphis over the years, lots of great options, and some not so great. When we’re in town and want pulled pork or brisket, we only go now to Commissary or Elwood’s. But not everyone has the same preference.

And I’ll second SLO, Silky’s has some fine ribs. Had a rack in mid-June. Solid, especially for an Irish Pub.

What restaurant has Elvis recording saying "thank you very much" when you leave. Can't remember the name but it was great.

Damn...got me stumped now as well. It was the same place featured in Elizabethtown. (Great soundtrack, BTW.)

And Rendesvoux is good, no doubt.

For a dry rib, I'd agree. It's all about the ambiance there...not so much about the food anymore.

From late '86 to late '91 I dated/lived with the owner of Molly's. (Madison and they had one on Park on the other side of town.) I got to meet A LOT of the restaurant folk in Memphis...behind the rope access at the events like Memphis in May.

One of the things I love about Charleston is the food scene. Memphis is underappreciated.

(BTW, on Molly's ... best black bean soup I've ever had. She's passed, Molly has ... I'd literally make that a meal.)
