Pepper at Corky's Bar B Q in East Memphis, TN

Pepper Bear made it to Memphis, TN at 6 PM on July 23, 2011. This was here second visit here. She visited Memphis in July 2010 so my daughter Amanda could visit Graceland. Amanda  described that visit to Memphis in her blog . This time Mary Ellen and I arrived late in Memphis and didn't have the energy to go out to Charles Vergos' Rendezvous Ribs in downtown Memphis so we went to Corky's Bar B Q .  This is a good place for carry out. This worked fine since it was too hot to leave Pepper in the car while we ate. We ordered a slab of ribs with set up for two. We had a choice of wet or dry ribs. Wet is basted with Bar B Q sauce while cooking.  This is how ribs are done at Dreamland in Tuscaloosa, AL.  Dry is rubbed with dry spices like Charles Vergos'. We ordered wet and took our feast back to the La Quinta to eat it. It was a good value costing roughly $ 23 and included a slab of ribs, two rolls, and two individual servings coleslaw and baked beans.
