Central BBQ – Memphis, TN
As we continued the journey, barbecue stop number two was Central B-B-Q, in Memphis. I didn’t realize until I went out to take a picture of the sign that we were one block from the Lorraine Motel and the National Civil Rights Museum. We visited this a decade or so ago, and it is powerful […]
A & R Bar-B-Q – Memphis, TN
Stop number one on the Eclipse barbecue scramble was A&R Bar-B-Q on Elvis Presley Blvd. Located on the end of a strip mall in an unassuming storefront, you’re confronted with the counter as soon as you walk in. The first thing I noticed was the happy hour frozen drink specials. This is a ‘cue place […]

Payne’s Bar-B-Q – Memphis, TN

There are many places known for barbecue in Memphis, but the field narrows, considerably, when it comes to the discussion of sandwiches. One of the consensus […]

Peg Leg Porker – Nashville, TN
The Bringles had been catering barbecue for about five years when they opened Peg Leg Porker, in the Gulch area of Nashville, back in 2013. On the last several trips to Nashville, I have had them on my list, but we hadn’t had the chance to swing by for a meal (pressing hot chicken needs, […]
Dino’s Bar – Nashville, TN
About a month ago, I picked up the third version of George Motz’s “Hamburger America” – the text that started much of my food journey. I discovered the existence of this tome more than a decade ago, when we were having lunch at Mr. Bartlett’s Burger Cottage, in Cambridge, MA. This book documents George’s journey […]
