We left Tulsa and headed east. We made it to Memphis, TN around
dinnertime. I called my friend Anita in Birmingham and asked about any
good barbeque in Memphis. "Corky's" she said, " Best ribs
in Memphis". It seems a relative lived there and did the
research. And so we checked it out in our mapping software and took an
interstate exit that put us into an area of town with Bail Bondsmen and
convenience stores with bars on the windows. I didn't like the feel of
this and we didn't see Corky's. We called the number that was listed and
they gave us a new address over the phone. We found Corky's in a
neighborhood with Country Clubs just a few miles up the road. The place
was packed but they still had a few tables opened. We were seated right
away. Without doing the research of trying ALL the BBQ in Memphis, we'd
have to agree that this was some of the best ribs in Memphis. Man, this
stuff was GOOD!!
We drove down Corridor
X, US 78, the future route of I-22, from Memphis to Birmingham, AL. We
made it to Phil and Anita's around 10:30 Central time. Time travel is so
tough.
