- Silky in Mardi Gras parade garb
Silky Sullivan, owner of Silky O’Sullivan’s on Beale Street, is making plans to take the taste of Memphis to Saigon, Vietnam, next year for a three-day international barbecue fest. The fest will feature 40 to 50 teams from around the world that will compete for $25,000 in cash.
“I like to take Memphis barbecue and put it in other places,” Sullivan says.
