As a Southerner who spent years in Memphis, please inform Thom that you don't decide to make BBQ anything "today". It takes weeks of planning and days of preparation

If you seek real BBQ and don't want to travel to God's country, try overnight delivery from any of these:

Rendevous/Memphis: www.hogsfly.com
Corky's/Memphis: www.corkysbbq.com
Dreamland/Tuscaloosa www.dreamlandbbq.com

PS: Watch out for the counterfeits from Kansas City...KC doesn't know BBQ
