    In 2018, wife and I went to Memphis for my birthday. Looking for a place to get lunch, I asked a local. He told us this was the place to go. He did not lie!!!! The ribs were excellent. Got there just in time, as we were sitting down to eat, a tour bus pulled up...... Two thumbs up!!!!

    When I first arrived in Austin from New Orleans in the early '90s and went to a TX bbq place, I thought the white bread thing was really weird. Then when I learned that it started with the German and Czech grocery stores from way back in the day it made a little more sense, and I figured it was just a local thing...until I saw you serving it as well!!
    By the way, your cooker is AWESWOME and the way you use it is even more awesome! That thing can put out more than some pits more than twice as big!!

    • @anthonybrooks1559
      @anthonybrooks1559 15 часов назад

      ​@@jordanbabcock9349true, not Chicago bbq because the pit originated there. However, Chicago does have a style, just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean they don't.

      Guarantee you the pit isn't cleaned at your favorite spot. Why do you think they tell you to season your grill before using it? You don't want a ton of grease build up, but you don't want it looking like it was just manufactured either.
