5 Star Stories: BBQ at The Rendezvous
WMC 5. We all know Memphis and pork barbecue are like hand and glove -- they just GO together. And while ribs have been a staple at backyard barbecues for years, this 5 Star Story focuses on the restaurant credited with setting the standard for “Memphis-style” ribs more than 70 years ago.
It’s one of those rare places loved by locals, tourists and celebrities alike, and the family who, for more than 100 years, has been feeding the heart and soul of Memphis. The Rendezvous is quintessentially Memphis, a basement barbecue restaurant.
