Memphi-Q


A & R Bar-B-Que: "Anyone can put the heat 2 the meat but only a few can bar-b-que."

We stopped for lunch in Memphis, and finally made it to a Roadfood-recommended eatery: A&R Bar-B-Que. Straightforward but delicious slow-cooked barbecue. We both had the pork sandwich (me hot with slaw, Andy mild without). No-frills place, friendly but efficient staff. And A managed to find some kin folk -- or at least kindred spirits -- in a couple of Kentucky fans from his Pa's home town. Good times.

We did a quick Graceland drive-by before we headed back to the highway. At $10 to park, though, we weren't able to snap a pic (and I certainly wasn't ready to fork over the $28 to walk around!).

Andy's driving again now; headed for Texarkana and the coveted Coors (little does he know Texarkana TX is in a dry county ...).

Oh, and a note to our anonymous commenters: Sign you comments so we know who you are! And keep 'em coming.

    The picture of that sandwich is amazing. The ubiquitousness of the pulled pork sandwich is why my friend Dan and I decided to spend our two months in Tennessee grilling our dinners in state parks. One is good. Any more than that, and you're making ceviche in your hotel room.
