Memphis in May International BBQ Contest

[OLS]

I ate more than my share, WAY more, of NC vinegar-based BBQ and I am still alive. I kind of try to blend
in and take food the way it comes. (when in Rome) But I will never forget the experience. I do love me
some dry-rubbed ribs. In Memphis there is a place called Tops that chops it like NC but leaves it dry for
you to add your own sauce or not. Not bad. Nothing Memphis-epic. But I prefer good old Brad's Backyard
BBQ fueled by lump charcoal and whatever sticks happen to fall out of trees that week.

I've never cooked at MIM but I have cooked at the American Royal 3 times. The first two times we finished in the top 100, the third time, we don't speak of. We're a small team by the name of Trash Can Smokers. I would love to attend the MIM but it just hasn't happened yet.

I am just now realizing why spares went onsale today of all days...derh.
I am gonna get a buggy full and then start making plans to get on down there. I guess I am a
unofficial part of a few teams, Marge. I am the part that shows up with the good stuff right
when people need it. I think by the time I get down there, most of the hard part is over for
them and they just want to relax and smoke and drink. What a coincidence. That's what I want!

I went to MIM back in the late 80's when was stationed at Blythville Arkansas. What a reat time and great food!
