Popular Post BR46 Posted March 1, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 1, 2021 Our son will not be able to meet us in California for the race so there's a change of plans. We won't be going to the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Laguna Seca raceway, Yellowstone or any other places along the way this year. So we will do another trip that we had on the back burner for years. A motorcycle trip with the only plan is to stop in Memphis for ribs. We will replace the race at Laguna with a race in Topeka Kansas 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than day trips I did that once for a week with a buddy years ago. We ended up at Kitty Hawk, NC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked for a firm based out of Memphis for 12 years and loved going back for meetings for the food. They always catered both Corky’s for the wet BBQ and Rendezvous for the dry. My favorite ribs & chicken were Rendezvous but I loved Corky’s pulled pork & Cole slaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted March 1, 2021 Share #12 Posted March 1, 2021 Memphis sounds fun with all the music heritage, and it is hopefully a little less overheated than Nashville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an excellent plan. I have mentioned to my wife & kids we need to make a foodie trip to Memphis as I do miss the food. Beal St is cool for some drinks & blues but the really good food places weren’t on Beal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which time the old addage "rubbing is racing" will ring true with every application of the chrome horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been to Nashville but Memphis (granted I hadn’t been there in 20 years) is really quiet after hours. It seems come 6 PM downtown has hardly any traffic and those remaining are there for the food. We would walk a few blocks to Beal and it was hoppin but the downtown area was really quiet. But we were also there Sun night through Wed or Thurs & never on a Friday/Sat night. The company hired nearly exclusively prior military & PD. We had one manager who was an Ivy League business major. We would all walk to Beal, usually in groups but sometimes we’d just meet up at a particular place. The one & only mugging of one of our managers was that Ivy Leaguer... Bad luck or maybe they could just tell an easy mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR46 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share #16 Posted March 1, 2021 We drive through Nashville 6 to 8 times a year and we stopped a few times for lunch. Bands trying to get discovered will be playing in the bars as early as 10AM. With the motorhome and trailer they change a arm and a leg for parking in downtown so we skip stopping in downtown.

I am not sure how Nashville feels about RV's downtown anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
