re: Going to Nashville!

If you're in Memphis you're in a much better area for BBQ. World class BBQ has two elements: Pork with Memphis style dry rub slow-cooked in a smoker makes the best meat, and the best sauce is a combination of tomato-based and vinegar-based with enough cayenne to make it spicy. The best example is found at aa place called Strawberry's in Holcomb, MO. The ribs and pork steaks (which most have probably never heard of) are unreal.

By the way, NC barbeque sauce is mustard-based. Retarded.
