The Commissary


I'd like to introduce you to the third best barbeque place in the country. For those of you that are curious, my dad's bbq is number one (homeade coca-cola sauce with his brisket), Rudy's bbq in Texas is number two...and much to my surprise, a little place called The Commissary in Memphis, Tennessee made it into my top three.
It's in old town Memphis and was actually the town general store (commissary) starting in the 1920's. A guy came along in the 80's and wanted to turn it into a bbq joint...he liked the name, so he kept it.
You know it's going to be a great meal when the waitress starts by saying, "Do you know what you want, sweetheart, or would you like some help?" I asked for help, to which she responded, "Well then, honey...you gots to have th' ribs. With slaw and then banana puddin." So, that's what I had of course...and I would recommend them all...highly. Fantastic. And the sauce...it gives my dad's a run for it's money.
In fact, I've got to go....I need to order some more of The Commissary's sauce...I'm almost out. I wonder if they ship?
