Quick-Fire Guide:
Road Side Bar-B-Q in Proctor, Arkansas, Just Across the Bridge from Downtown Memphis
Here are a few notes about the ‘que:
Tenderness-
- Ribs-Were mostly tender. I didn’t mind the chewy bits on the end. The texture with the type of bark the meat developed contrasted with the interior moist meat reminded me a little of pork carnitas.
Smoke-
- Ribs-Had really nice wood smoke flavor.
Sauce-Was a thick, tomato and molasses type of bbq sauce, very much like the kind that might be served with your chicken nuggets. They offered a hot version of the bbq sauce though, and the sweet-heat sensation balanced out the whole thing. I found it to compliment the ribs just fine.
