RIBS?????

[Guest db99wj]

Maybe this direct link is better... they've changed their site, again.

Southern Foodways Alliance, Tennessee

Included from that page is an interview done for the project. Larry and Lisa Profitt are entrepreneurs but the established recipes were first created by Larry's mother. I realize this isn't about the ribs... but if you like barbeque and you've never been to the Ridgewood for a sandwich... well, it's damn near blasphemy.

Frankly, you should start at the Ridgewood and work your way west, ending at Memphis. That is, after all, the natural progression of the historical nature of barbeque and the regional adaptations encountered along the way. Barbeque roots run deep and, for many, are as easily differentiated as salt water is to fresh water.

Their write up mentions Bozo's in Mason, TN. Been there as a kid, good stuff right there, I tell you what! However, a place in Covington had the best, Craig's BBQ. That was the stuff!

What he said!

Also some good stuff here...

I've been getting the garden and gun magazine for free... new magazine roll-out gimmick. I really like it. Good stuff. They recently did another article, too. I'll see if I can find it.

Yea, they had a NC BBQ highway tour in this month's issue...good stuff!

Have you been to Metro Center? LOLOLOL

Hell yeah!

I used to frequent Mary's Pit BBQ on Jefferson at least a few times a month, but I haven't been in over a year lately.

For ribs here in Knoxville, my favorite is Ruby Tuesday. They are wet and the best in town. Calhouns is just ok in my book. I like Chili's better than theirs. For Brisket, it's Famous Dave's with the Devil Spit, BABY!!!

There is a Dreamland in h-ville now...haven't been though, but I've heard its good!

Btw, I don't know about their ribs, but I was watching the AL BBQ cook off on the Food Network the other night. Paradise Ridge on Annex Ave off Charlotte in West Nashville, directly across from Costco, won 1st Place in the Brisket category.

I think I''m going there for lunch tomorrow now.

[Guest mustangdave]

Dreamland....MMMMMMM momma...good stuff! I even had some of Dreamlands ribs shipped to my ma n pa in Ohio

[Guest FiddleDog]

Martins has some great ribs, but they're wet.

Oh yeah? I've never had their brisket, but I'm a big fan of their wings!

[Guest Traumaslave]

The best ribs that I have had anywhere come from Bread of Heaven. It's a little place just south of Knoxville in Alcoa. 55 gal drums split and tacked on to grocery cart frames to smoke all day long. Don't expect anything but good food. Buffet for lunch doesn't have ribs but the pulled pork is great too.

Now the best pork I have had come from Bradley's in Sweetwater. Their ribs aren't bad either.

Well, scratch Paradise Ridge. Tried to go for lunch today and they posted it.

Ah crap! Looks like I'll be enjoying someone else's wings from now on.

Thanks for the heads up!

There was a post somewhere on here yesterday that it was reported by a Knoxville paper that the Calhouns there weren't posted. Something about seeing what the competition was going to do first. LOLOLOL

I don't know if the White Bridge Rd one here is posted or not.

Sounds like Mike is a true sheep.

Drove past there today, still not posted.

Well, actions are stronger than words. He was all piss & vinegar until he realized it was going to cost him money.

[timcalhoun]

Well, even though my last name is the same I will not be giving them my money.

Not sure if they are dry or not but Martin's BBQ has good ribs.

Martin's Bar-B-Que - Page-6 | Menu

I disagree: Martin's ribs are not good...they are great! I have only had the baby backs wet but they were ambrosia-like.

[Guest SureShot308]

Sticky Fingers is good, but Maurice's is way better. Nothing beats the Big Pig. I may have to make a trip back to Charleston now just so I can get some of that.
