Thank goodness somebody bumped this after two years. The suspense about their signage was killing me.

I'm going to Memphis next month for Rangemaster's conference. What bbq restaurants would you suggest for pulled pork?

For pulled pork either Central BBQ on Central Ave. or Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ on 3rd st. If you get a pulled pork sandwich, make sure it's Memphis style with the slaw on top.

Most places have pretty good ribs. I like Charlie Vergo's best, but Central or Neely's are good.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of ribs but enjoyed the pulled pork sammiches I had around RTP. It'll be interesting to see and taste the regional differences. Is the slaw in Memphis vinegar-based or mayo? And do they serve hushpuppies?

I really enjoyed the shrimp & grits in the Carolinas as well, although that's not a dish I would order too far from the coast.
