Memphis BBQ

On my way to Minneapolis earlier this month, I had to connect through Memphis, a Northwest Airlines hub. Although I’ve never been to Tennesee, I’ve heard that one of the things Memphis is known for is its barbecue.  The smoky and sweet smell of roasting chicken, pork and turkey filled the B concourse where I was walking through. I usually don’t have very good luck finding airport food of decent quality. But my dad, who has traveled through Memphis on more than one occasion, told me to stop at Jim Neely’s Interstate BBQ for a pulled pork sandwich or rib dinner.  Boy am I glad that I did!  I tried the smoked turkey dinner with coleslaw and baked beans, and Nate had the pulled pork dinner. The next time you’re in Memphis — or the airport — I highly recommend stopping here.
