Dinner at Memphis Blues Barbecue House

After Mass, last Saturday, hubby and I decided to take a trip to Memphis without living Vancouver. How? By trying barbecue from Memphis Blues Barbecue House in West Broadway.

Memphis Blues Barbecue House

I love barbecue. Whether it's Korean or Filipino-style, barbecue tastes so good! It's tangy and sweet and a bit of heat. Yum! Going to Memphis Blues, I have no idea what to expect; all I know is that You Gotta Eat Here visited this joint. Jomar and I (like we always do) order a starter, main course, and dessert.

BBQ Poutine

For our starter, we picked BBQ Poutine. I mean, we're in Canada, of course, we'll pick the poutine. Honestly, it was a debate between BBQ Nachos or BBQ Poutine and well, you know what won.

It was delicious. The fries are crispy even though it's smothered and drowning under the weight of the pulled pork and BBQ sauce. The cheese (though not as melted as I would like) provided a creamy texture. Moreover, the serving size is so big, it's definitely suitable for 3-4 people as a starter. Of course, we finished the whole thing and was stuffed. We wondered how we're going to finish the rest of our order.

Pulled Pork Sandwich

I don't know what to expect when I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was big, and I wasn't sure how I should take a bite. I did and pulled pork was falling off the sandwich. It was messy, the way it should be. It's as yummy as the poutine, but I was so stuffed that Jomar and I had to share it and just bring home his order.

BBQ Chicken

We had to take home the BBQ because the poutine made us full (plus we're saving some room for dessert). However, we still very much enjoyed the BBQ Pit Beans and Cornbread. I don't know why but I didn't enjoy the potato salad. We should have ordered the fries for this one as well.

Should have been Pecan Pie

Pecan Pie is my favourite pie, and I was so sad that it was not available when we went there. We settled for Peach Crumble, which was good, but I was looking forward to the Pecan Pie.
