The hategasm in Charlottesville is causing moar cities to remove their Confederate monuments. Including cities that weren't even planning on removing them.

I know a woman who moved to Seattle from Memphis, and she told me a few weeks ago that there is actually a statue in the city of the original Grand Wizard of the KKK. I was in disbelief and had to Google it while she was talking to me.

Nathan Bedford Forrest's status as original grand wizard is up for debate, but yeah it's there.

Memphis is also one of the blackest cities in America.

It's quite the powder keg.

One of the most frightening shows I've ever watched was a documentary about crack and meth dealers in Memphis.

Memphis has some scary ass parts, no question.

Southaven is the worst according to my sources.

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.

lol

I was going to make fun of that shit until I remembered that I grew up in Shelton.

Now they are attacking Lincoln monuments. Standby Washington and the rest of the founders are next. Get the marshmallows ready for the book burning. It's what fascists do.

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.

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.

Bunch of guys discussing what restaurants to eat at next time they travel. You guys realize you sound like a group of moms at Starbuck's, right?

But the bigger question is: Could this thread get any gayer?
