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 ...).

ReplyDeleteThe 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.
