Hey guys, I was eating some really good BBQ last night and was wondering out loud about the availability of some good BBQ down at Bonnaroo? (Tounge twister). Seriously, how fast would some great smoked BBQ go if you had one of those trailer smoker things with you and were pumping out rib and brisket smoke all over the campgrounds? Anyone ever seen this down there?
some locals right near our campsite were selling these HUGE turkey leg drumsticks. im talking massive. felt like you were holding a small baseball bat.

That is what I'm talkin about... I could munch on a turkey leg while I wander around in a haze...

Nothing cures munchies like some nice messy ribs or a huge beef/pork sandwhich... or some fries... or some nice baked beans... or just something covered in BBQ sauce. Now I'm hungry...

wait, I just realized...Bonnaroo is in Tennessee. Memphis is in Tennessee. Memphis is the home of the best ribs on the planet (or at least the best style). I pray that someone will be producing some good quality memphis ribs.

I could definitely handle some Memphis ribs although I am a fan of the sauce covered Kansas City BBQ - I doubt I'd be too picky if I were to come across some well smoked ribs down there.

Memphis is definitely famous for their BBQ... but I would put KC right up there for legendary smoked meats. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those turkey legs down there... mmmmmmmm

Kansas City Baby!!!!! That would be awesome if there was a Gates Vendor selling the combo and half sandwiches, If any of you all ever go to KCMO hit Gates and order one, mtheyre ;loaded W/ smoked roast beef and ham, very huge, and order some of their huge steak fries to go W/ it.

I was in KC last fall, and had the best BBQ meal ever at Jack Stacks. Maybe we could convince one of you Missou boys to bring some BBQ to the Inforoo Brunch on Thursday????

You guys don't know sh!t about good BBQ! You don't have to travel to Memphis, Kansas City, or Lynchburg! All you got to do is find a McDonalds! McRib, baby! M-C-R-I-B! (YUMMM!)

i don't eat meat, but i love the taste of barbecue sauce. mmm. especialy on grilled corn on the cob
I hate to be a d!ck but, (strangely) a lot of BBQ sauces have anchovies in them. I don't know how strict you are about but, I thought that I should let you know (assuming that you didn't already). Sorry. Good luck with the veggie thing though! I tried but, I couldn't do it.
haha thanks for lettign me know, i'd give you karma if i hadn't just smited you. i've been meat free (as far as i know, i had no idea about the bbq sauce thing) for three years now. i feel a lot better because of it, but sometimes i do miss meat

I have crazy respect for you! I couldn't handle it...and I only did it for 8 months! I just kept craving and craving and.... Then, I moved to Atlanta. There are so many good restaurants here, that I just caved. More power to you!

Just check the ingredient label. They can't put something like that in there without mentioning it there....

For all you Missouri people - or anyone passing through, here are a few places to try...
Kansas City: Arthur Bryant's - One of KC's most historic BBQ spots Gates - Probably the most commercially successful BBQ joint west of the Miss Jack Stack - I've recently heard this may actually be the best BBQ in KC
Columbia: Buckingham's Smokehouse - Great atmosphere, great prices, wonderful food and nearly every brand of BBQ sauce known to man to sample with your meal
Warrensburg area: Perry Foster's - Little known, but a true hole-in-the-wall BBQ spot Bates City BBQ - Another very off the beaten path joint... in the middle of nowhere but the meat is so farm fresh and wonderfully smoked that you will be glad you found it Bill Sharp's - Known for their huge helpings and long history of quality and consistency
Eminence: Dean's - WAY off... and I mean way off the beaten path... Eminence is known for being on the Current River and is frequented by people going rafting and floating in the summer... this place is so good that unless you get there before 5pm it is sold out of food. Amazing ribs and sides... and the seats are horse sadles.
Feel free to share your local area BBQ spots (especially you people in the TN area since I'd like to eat BBQ on Wed. night - we'll be stayin in Manchester).

Every year now there has been a BBQ booth along the back fenceline of the main venue/stage. It is called "Prater's BBQ." It is pretty good but it is definitely not Memphis BBQ. If you get a craving, go there. They sell a big sandwich but I am not sure about ribs. Somebody could make a load if they set up a cooker in one of the camps. The smell alone would bring customers in. A cooker is NOT an open fire.
Fortunately I used to live in Memphis and that's where my family is still currently residing so I will be coming home to Memphis for a week before I head out to Bonnaroo. Mmmm mmmm mmmmmm I can't wait to feast on some of that good ole Memphis BBQ. I'm so deprived living in New England. People don't even realize up here!

Thats one of our local places, Praters..Their "restaurant", if that is what you want to call it, is on Hwy 55, east of Manchester, in the small community of Morrison. Its just about 2 miles past the Warren county line, on the left (coming from Manchester). Its really just two trailers connected, converted inside to seating.
Another good place to go, right here in Manchester, is Porkys Pit. It is off exit 111 (Same as Bushy Branch), but you go west on Hwy 55, away from roo. It is only like 1/8th of a mile off the interstate on the left. Its just a little shack, that you can drive up to the window, or they have a walk up window. No indoor seating, but there are a couple of picnic tables. Its real good, I like Porky's pulled pork better than Praters...
Since "Redneck BBQ" went out of business, Porky's Pit is the only place in Manchester to get good pulled pork.
You can stop right off I24 (exit 78) in Murfreesboro at "Corky's BBQ". It is a chain restaurant, but they have pretty good pulled pork and ribs.
