Okay. We ALL know I was no cheerleader of Memphis. But what tha...Memphis is 10th for BBQ and NYC is #1. The one negative thing any New Yorker you stop on the street will tell you about the City is that you CANNOT get BBQ in this town!!!
AND WHO GOES TO LITTLE ROCK FOR BARBECUE?!!
Memphis No. 10 on BBQ destinations list
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
CheapTickets.com has listed Memphis as the 10th best destination for
barbecue during the Fourth of July holiday.
The online travel agency commissioned its employees across the country to identify the best place to eat barbecue and enjoy Independence Day events.
New York City was listed as No. 1, followed by New Orleans, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Charleston, S.C. and Little Rock, Ark.
The company suggests eating at the Pig-N-Whistle while in Memphis and lists the average daily rate for a three-star hotel in the city at $100.20.

That is weird. There are the Texas BBQ shops aren't there, and what was that North Carolina-themed place on Amsterdam and 77th? But really, there are so many other great foods to eat in NYC, why bother with BBQ?
There was a huge article in the Times last year bemoaning the lack of real barbecue joints in New York. I just don't get this list at all.
Maybe the key to this particular list is BBQ on the Fourth of July? As in, Memphis may have great BBQ on its own, but for an overall good July 4 experience, New York provides the best all-around deal?
I'm sure there's some bitchin' BBQ joints in Harlem. But better than Memphis? Pshaw!
