Amy’s Guide to Memphis
Food Scene
There are plenty of BBQ resturants in Memphis but my favorite for a barbecue sandwich is Central BBQ. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich (you have to get it with slaw).

When I am in the mood for barbecue ribs I go The Bar-B-Q Shop. The ribs are tender and moist and fall off the bone. I like dry rub and barbecue sauce on the side. They come in regular or spicy hot.
