Memphis BBQ Road Trip (BEST SPOTS IN TOWN)

[@chubdiesal]

Marlowe's seems like it would be good. I was just in Memphis for the first time about a week ago. I wasn't a fan of Rendezvous due to the overwhelming vinegar taste to the meat. It just wasn't for me but I love that your video shows why I was tasting that much vinegar. Also the mustard and horseradish slaw wasn't really a thing I enjoyed. Central was good. It was a nice BBQ lunch, but the best ribs I had in Memphis was Cozy Corner Restaurant. First time we went they had run out. We went back early the 2nd day and there was a line for the ribs and they didn't disappoint. The restaurant doesn't look like much but the food was amazing. Excellent flavor on the ribs, the sauce was great (the ribs didn't even need sauce, which is new to me since I'm from Colorado), and the potatoes salad was the best I've had from any restaurant. It's a must try while in Memphis. Thanks for the video

Definitely give Marlowes a shot I truly enjoyed it & thanks for sharing your experiences! Thats awesome to hear will definitely check out Cozy corner next time I’m out there👊🏾 thanks for stopping buy🤙🏽!

[@jorgemancia5654]

Good stuff!! So cool to see how each spot cooks their food diffrently!

[@ricksroute]

Thank you🙏🏽 & indeed they all have their own magic touch🤌🏽!

Great video Rick and I’ve gotta second bbqman. Loin Back Ribs and Baby Back Ribs are the same😂 but she’s just probably going off of what she was told, so nothing against her. By the way, I’m from Arkansas, and the best barbecue I’ve had was here in my backyard! 👍🏾😉😋

[@ricksroute]

Thank you Laron🤙🏽! & hey now we now👊🏾, send the recipe haha

[@JustinKolby]

I've had BBQ from all of the hot spots around the country. Memphis BBQ is by far superior!

[@ricksroute]

No doubt about it Memphis is unlike any BBQ I've experienced as well, Truly in a league of their own!

[@bbqman5285]

Absolutely hilarious! So sad to see what folks now days think real BBQ is. And to the young Lady at Central BBQ, Baby backs and Loin ribs are the exact something. ..Gezz!

[@ricksroute]

Thanks for the info🙌🏾, What state are you from any bbq recommendations?

[@herbertsexton7629]

lol being from north Mississippi and working in Memphis everyday you didn’t go to the best bbq places you just went to the most popular tourist restaurants. The best bbq places in Memphis is K.C’s off 3rd and Tom’s off Getwell.

[@ricksroute]

@@herbertsexton7629 Thanks for the recommendation Herbert! I’ll make sure to hit those spots next time I’m in town🤙🏽

[@chadlt1]

Man I was thinking the exact same thing too! I was waiting on him to hit Cozy Corner or Paynes or something

[@chrisa1125]

So which ribs were your favorite? I've lived within 20-25 miles of Marlowe's for 45 years and for some reason have never eaten there, I need to try it soon.

[@ricksroute]

@@chrisa1125 Truly! My favorite location from this episode was no doubt Marlowes I think of their food OFTEN. A must try in my books and sounds like your well overdue for a visit haha! Thier ribs are top notch, sides are great, but what lingers on my mind is their house brisket👏🏽

[@chrisa1125]

@@ricksrouteAwesome dude, thanks for the reply… I’ll be sure to try the brisket when I go!

[@ricksroute]

@@chrisa1125 let me know what ya think if you do go haha👊🏾

[@cvillanuevatsmith]

Kinda crazy how they cook the raw ribs above the cooked ribs

[@ricksroute]

your right pretty unique strategy

[@EdwardJackson-e7i]

Man, you need to go to Ks Jack stack Memphis, don’t have no good bbq You need to go to Ks City look at gates, Brian Q39

[@ricksroute]

@@EdwardJackson-e7i I appreciate the recommendation! Kansas is definitely now on my radar🤙🏽

[@efrembrown10]

You done yourself injustice by not visiting Blk own BarbecueJoints , I’ve eaten at all 3 and like Marlowe the best , the next time you in town visit Interstate and other Blk own Barbecue places

[@ricksroute]

Marlowes is amazing! & will definitely be checking out more local businesses on the next visit🙌🏾 any spot recommendations?

[@blueskies00]

Its amazing how people dont seem to mind the filthy back wall of that 1st restaurant. Noce lady and creator Food prolly excellent. But looks like back wall never cleaned or maintained.

[@Goshakovski]

you need to grade you video footage my friend, the video looks dull

[@ricksroute]

You’re 1000% right thanks for the feedback!! I’ve been working on color grading moving forward it’ll be more vibrant🤙🏽🙏🏽!!

[@Goshakovski]

@@ricksroute its tough but once you get it right your golden! keep going great content

[@ricksroute]

@@Goshakovskimuch appreciated!!

[@algernon5776]

Hey Rick sorry to inform you but you didn't even come close to the Best BBQ in Memphis. You need to dig deeper for true legends like Cozy Corner, A&R and Payne's just to name a few. Your spots aren't bad but the first 2 are tourist traps

[@ricksroute]

Appreciate the insite algernon! I hope to visit Memphis again someday soon and dive deeper into what the city has to offer🙌🏾

[@algernon5776]

@ricksroute Rick if you do reach out and I will provide you with some great recommendations. Plus visit the Peabody Hotel to watch Ducks come down, ride the street cars and visit the Lorraine Motel for a historical perspective. Happy & safe travels

[@ricksroute]

⁠​⁠@@algernon5776absolutely would love any recommendations you have to offer👏🏽! & I visited the Loraine motel it truly was one of the most impactful moments I’ve experienced in my life you really feel the historical significance and emotional connection that location holds. It definitely has a certain energy to it that can’t be explained but only felt when your there. Thanks for tuning in👊🏾

[@jeffs3934]

​@ricksroute, if you're into music, the Stax Museum is a must. Some of the best music ever recorded came out of their studio

[@ricksroute]

@@jeffs3934 thanks for the insight Jeff! Hope to check it out next time I’m in town🤙🏽

[@EdwardJackson-e7i]

Kansas City have the best

[@ricksroute]

@@EdwardJackson-e7i any location recommendations?

[@lisette.156]

I’m hungwwyyy now 😋😋😋😋

[@ricksroute]

love to hear that😋

[@debradennehy8417]

Central Q is probably the best Q in Memphis. The others are overrated.

[@ricksroute]

Central was great😋!

[@brownlee-ve2uy]

There’s no good barbecue in Memphis they be getting over

[@ricksroute]

Any food location recommendations?

[@brownlee-ve2uy]

@@ricksroute some of the best barbecue cooks in the country live here in the mid south and they know people here don’t want to pay the cost that it takes to produce good barbecue so there is no quality barbecue here

[@ricksroute]

I totally agree! no other place in America does barbecue like the south👊🏾 I personally enjoyed these locations but if you know of any places that are producing great barbecue or food in general, I’m always looking for new fantastic places!
