Been to Memphis once. Best BBQ I've ever had (Texan heresy)
The Rendezvous? Best rib joint in the history of rib joints?
Rendezvous is a must visit for the atmosphere and history, but it's not particularly good as far as Memphis ribs go. But you do need to try the sausage and cheese plate if you ever go there again.
Central, Corky's, Memphis BBQ Co, and Germantown Commissary all have better ribs IMO, and there are probably others I haven't been to.
There's BBQ everywhere here. As a former North Carolinian, former Oklahoman who spent time in Georgia, I am all in on Memphis BBQ. No other BBQ comes close (though I've never had KC BBQ and have heard very good things).
Texas brisket is the shit though, my favorite non pork BBQ anywhere.
If would have known DNC that you were Memphis BBQ Superiority Guy, I wouldn't have popped off so much. I love the Rendezvous so much because of the location and ambience. And yes, I've had the cheese plate and sausages. I even some the seasoning at home in my cupboard. I recall going to one other sport when I was there: it would have been either Corky's or Interstate. Was excellent which ever it was. Just haven't ever been able to find BBQ on par with those kinds of places in Seattle, although I am a pretty mean rib chef myself.
Next time you're in town PM me and we'll check out Central or Memphis BBQ Co.

Beale Street gives me a boner. Bourbon Street with better tunes and without the barfing rednecks.
There's great places to go in the Quarter and NOLA that aren't Bourbon Street. Last I checked, Bourbon Street was mostly gay bars these days (NTTAWWT).
I didn't there was enough of Beale Street when I was there. Maybe that's changed now.
Beale Street is pretty cool and a must visit, but it's pretty damn tiny. Two blocks and the far third of the eastern block is pretty sparse.
It's great for live music and food though, and minus the airborne herpes of Bourbon Street so it has that going for it.

This. I always look at BBQ as BBQ, and then brisket. Both BBQ, but two different worlds. Texas for brisket, and Memphis for BBQ.

Someone in Arizona turned the memorial to Confederate veterans on the lawn of their state Capitol into the 2nd Place Participation Trophy that it is:
I like pork, because it tastes good
but BBQ brisket is BBQ
