When it comes to American barbecue, there’s a style that stands out above the rest: Memphis Style BBQ. This style, originating from the heart of Tennessee, has made its way into the kitchens of BBQ lovers worldwide. At Lizzies BBQ, we’re proud to bring the authentic taste of Memphis right to your plate.
The Birth of Memphis Style BBQ
Memphis Style BBQ isn’t just a cooking method; it’s a cultural tradition steeped in history. Born in the backyards and kitchens of Tennessee’s working-class neighborhoods, this BBQ style is renowned for its unique blend of smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors.
What Makes It Unique?
There are a few defining characteristics that set Memphis Style BBQ apart. First, there’s the choice of meat. While other BBQ styles might focus on brisket or chicken, Memphis Style BBQ is all about the pork, specifically ribs and pulled pork.
Secondly, the preparation method is unique. The meat is slow-cooked in a pit, and then it’s either served “dry” with a flavorful rub or “wet” with a tangy tomato-based sauce.
Finally, the smoke. Memphis Style BBQ wouldn’t be complete without the deep, rich flavor imparted by slow-smoking over hickory wood.
