Memphis Barbeque & Blues

It was about that time again...to try out another food truck. I found this one listed on the Jax Truckies FB page and since it was close by, I decided to give it a shot. I haven't had any red meat in awhile and I've been craving some BBQ for some time. I was just a little bit hesitant that if I ate it I would be miserable the rest of day from being so full but that wasn't the case.I went over to their location at a college and their was a small line already there. I really like the artwork on their trailer, it's very bold and colorful and I think it captures "Memphis" perfectly. I ended up ordering the BBQ rib sandwich combo with baked beans and cole slaw and it was a good thing that I got there when I did because the were gonna shut down after my order. I chit-chatted with the lady at the counter as my food was being prepared. She's very friendly and even gave me some tips about what to use on my natural hair. Anyway, I thanked her and the cook and wished them well as I headed back to the office. The sandwich hit the exact spot I needed it to. There was no need to add anything to it as they were very generous with the bbq sauce. The ribs were excellent and seasoned just right. The beans and the slaw were awesome as well, nothing to complain about there.All in all, I'm very satisfied. I saw on their truck that they occasionally have smoked salmon so I'll have to follow them to see when they'll have it. I'd definitely will return.

My first time trying this food truck tonight and I'll say that it was decent, but pretty unsatisfying. I like to think I know my Bar-B-Que, and I certainly know what I like. This was just ok.First off let me say that Al the owner was amazing. He was getting set up when I introduced myself. I complimented him on the awesome design of the truck and he sent me a great photo to use on Yelp. He was personable and friendly. I came back 30 minutes later once they were up and ready and the woman working the truck got me my pulled pork sandwich with fries. She wasn't all that friendly. I don't know why, as I always make a point to be really nice.The pork is decent. It's moist and tender. The flavor profile I prefer is a bit more smoky, this was light in that department. Texture was odd because it was so well shredded that it pretty much dissolved in my mouth. The sauce was decent, but when I think Memphis BBQ, I think vinegar based sauces, and this was a more traditional sweet, tomato based (read KC) one. It's not bad mind you, it was ok. The fries were well cooked: crispy, really well seasoned and darned hot. The seasoning blend they use is a winner. Would I go back? Probably not. I've got a BBQ place prefer up the street from my home.

Dang it a descent BBQ truck. Yea it's about time. Someone who has bbq meat with smoky flavor that didn't come from a bottle. This truck is manned by owner/chef Mr. Pappy. Now this man has some mad people skills to go along with his smoking skill. They menu is pretty small so if you want some good Q this is your truck. The wrap is sweet as the bbq sauce. There is a famous picture of BB King playing Lucille his famed guitar. There is also the King Elvis Presley and a couple of other famous blues guys also on the truck. Ok the menu they have smoked chicken and pork that's it. Pulled pork sammmies or a plate or if you like nachos made with either meat. The chicken Pappy likes to pull his chicken. Not that chicken he's a former Preacher. The chicken is moist before they add the sauce. I know he gave me some to try. The pork is either pulled or you can get ribs. The ribs is one of my favs in the BBQ world. So I was all over the ribs and they held up to. They were full of smoky flavor from the wood. The sauce worked well with his ribs but is not needed to make them eatable like some other trucks. I did like our little chat today about smoking meat but we do differ on a few manners of preparation. But, then again that's why they make chocolate ice cream....cause everyone don't like vanilla. This truck is pretty to look at so go see it and don't forget to get some killer Q. Tell Pappy Mark sent ya.

They came to our place of business with several other food trucks. I think they may have been overwhelm with all the people that came out had to wait over 20 mins to get food. (don't blame them just that busy) it was worth the wait it was hot and pork was cooked just right. I will definitely buy from them again.
