| Best ribs I EVER had were at BB King's on Beale St in Memphis. The town raved about the place across the street from BB's (sorry, can't recall the name), so we went there the next night. Didn't even make my list - dry, flavorless ribs. Throw in some good old-fashioned live blues while dining, and BB's is my first choice! |

| I've had ribs at BB's on Beale and I can't disagree. |

| One thing I had never eaten until I went to Memphis (hopeless northerner at the time) was Red Beans and Rice.
It changed my world. |

I get to Nashville more than I care to for work related meetings, but never Memphis. Memphis is quite far away. I can hit a lot of cities in other states including Atlanta, Richmond, Charlotte, Lexington, Cincinnati, etc... quicker than I can get to Memphis. Tennessee is a pretty wide state. In any case, you can bet that I'll be trying out at least a couple of BBQ joints while there. I will see how they compare to whats up here in the hills in Appalachia. The wife and I are leaving out on Thursday morning. We will take I-81 & I-40 into Knoxville and then will be riding 70 south/north so as not to take the interstate and see a little more scenery. I wish we'd have time to hit the Natchez Trace Pkwy. One day that'll be on the list. For you Elvis fans, I'll give my regards to the king. |
Brother, don't mean to dissuade you, BUT - the Natchez Trace Pkwy is one of the most BORING rides I have EVER done - especially in Miss. Mostly flat with very little variation in terrain. But, if you must . . . . . . . |

You can buy them in some grocery stores under brand name MAHATMA - comes dry in a gold pkg. And yes, they're awesome! |
