Memphis, Tennessee is home to one of the country’s richest smoked meat traditions. Like other barbecue capitals of the Southeast, Memphis barbecue is all about pork, specifically pork ribs and shoulders. A Memphis joint’s defining flavor comes in large part from their spice rub, which starts with salt, black pepper, and brown sugar, and then adds other herbs and spices that denote a particular pitmaster’s house formula. From there, the meat is basted with barbecue sauce as it cooks, which adds an extra layer of flavor and caramelized notes from the sugar in the tomato-based glaze.
