Pappy's Smokehouse

After Chris watched Man vs. Food Wednesday night, he asked me to take him to Pappy's sometime.



I think he was impressed to be somewhere he'd seen on TV. The loooong line didn't phase him at all.

He ordered pulled pork, sweet potato fries and fried corn.



Dennis and I had previously been unimpressed with the pulled pork and slaw, and he was not fond of the baked beans, so we went other directions today.

He got brisket and hot links with potato salad.



I got a half slab of ribs.



With three drinks, our total was $42.

It was worth it because Chris enjoyed it. He did get some ends and edges in is pulled pork, which did make a big difference. Dennis thinks the brisket suffers from the same problem as our last batch of pulled pork; it is tender and good, but it doesn't have enough rubbed and burnt areas to flavor it deeply enough. The ribs are the best meat we've tried and must be where Pappy's really shines. Overall, I still like Lil' Mickey's better, because what I really like is a pulled pork sandwich with tangy red sauce and creamy slaw on a bun, and nobody does that better than Lil' Mickey's. Not even in Memphis.
