You're killing me.

I'm retired USAF - been around this world several times.

We did have to employ an interpreter, though, the first time we went - "deep south".

Oh yes, familiar with the franchise called "Memphis BBQ". They are not "outside" of Las Vegas - I think they have about 8 - 10 outlets here. Stand alone stores, inside of casino's, etc.

I have eaten there 4 times - in the 20 years I've been in this town. Not bad, actually - for the "BBQ for the masses" type food.

My last visit, recently, impressed me. Not the pork sandwich (ain't up to my standards!) - the red rice and beans. Trying to perfect at the house. They were tasty!

Thanks for the plans on the barrel.

This is a great thread.
