Memphis BarBQ

Ever year teams from around the world converge on Memphis for the annual Memphis BarBQ cooking contest.  They come from all over the world with custom made BarBQ cookers and dressed in all sorts of outfits representing pigs and BarBQ.  They compete with each other in all manner of catergories from shoulder to ribs, from presentation to outfit.  Every since I can remember Memphis has hosted this event at different locations around the city and claimes to have the best BarBQ in the world because of it.  Now I don't know if Memphis has the best but I do know that if you are from Memphis you can not help but be some sort of expert in BarBQ just by the fact that all your life you have been exposed to BarBQ from almost ever corner, ever picnic, ever class reunion, and ever major event in the city from the time you were born until the time you die.

Every year the debate goes on whether the best BarBQ is dry rubbed or wet?  Now, hear again I have had both and to tell the truth I prefer the wet.  This however is a personal preference because I have never liked anything dry.  I just like the feeling of the sauce smeared on my face and sticking to my fingers, not to mention taste of the sauce mixed with every bite

I have been around the world and I have found that BarBQ is universal to almost every culture that I have been to.  Now they may not call it BarBQ but the results are the same.  In the east China, Japan and the Phillipines they may call it so fancy name like Mongolian BarBQ or something like that while in the islands of the Carribeans they may call it **** chicken or pork.  Now in the Polynesian Islands they may call it a Luau.  I don't know what they call it but I call it BarBQ because I grew up on BarBQ and I know BarBQ when I see if and when I taste it.
