I grew up on the border of Texas and Arkansas, my brother lived in Memphis for a few years, and I’ve lived in NC for about four years. I love brisket and I’ve grown to appreciate pulled pork with the vinegar sauce, but dry rub from Memphis is unbeatable.

I’ve had the Bar-B-Q spaghetti from the Bar-B-Q Shop in Memphis. I was a doubter until I tried it, but it’s as good as it looks. Also, vinegar-based Bar-B-Q sauce is never a good choice in my humble opinion. And, finally, the Rendezvous in Memphis is the finest anywhere. Abby’s Dad and I had our first date there.

For the record, even people in Memphis scoffed at me when I ordered the BBQ Spaghetti. You have to go in with an open mind. I can say that anyone who’s ever tasted it has loved it. There’s nothing more delicious. But you have to be willing to look a little silly. That’s what being a trailblazer is all about. Hugh is a little better of a friend after I learned about his love for that dish – AND that he also knew the Bar-B-Q Shop’s owner, Eric.

I love debates like that. Regional Stereotype Smackdown! Anyway, BBQ sauce on pasta sounds like a damned waste to me. Meat mo’ bettah.
