Big Hearted River Keeps on Rollin'

Wow, it's been too long, my friends. I never regaled you with stories and pictures from my continued journey down the Mississippi from Memphis to Baton Rouge. So here it begins were we already began: Memphis.

On Beale Street, the famous blues corridor. Just like in New Orleans, you can get a big ass... beer:


The Rendezvous, Charles Vergo's Rendezvous, that is:


Here you procure the greatest dry ribs in the kingdom:


I sat down inside, my order was taken, and I was served all in about 4 minutes. The ribs were so tasty and rubbed to perfection that I forgot to take any pictures inside. If you haven't had dry ribs, track down someplace to eat them or fly to Memphis and go to Rendezvous. Make this a resolution for 2008.


Here's another angle of Rendezvous. I think it deserves the attention. In this tastefully image, you can just make out the famous Peabody Hotel in the background at the end of the alley.


Back atcha later with some more from Memphis. For realz.
