Or so argues a writer for seriouseats.com.

Them's fightin' words!

A sample of his reasoning:

It wasn't that Memphis 'cue wasn't all that, as much as it was that it wasn't everything.. There are actually few cities in America that do ribs, pulled pork, or other smoked goodies generally better than Memphis. The problem is I'm from one of the places that does.

Chicago!?! How incredibly bizarre. It's like discovering Burl Ives was an atheist.

So he doesn't likes dry rubs...

And when he comes to Memphis he complains that the dry rub is too dry? And leaves without visiting Paynes?

Sheesh.. what's next someone from North Carolina complaining that we don't put enough turpentine on our possum for their liking?
