My favorite meal

My favorite meal would have to be when I went to Corky's world renowned bbq restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee last July . The bbq at this place was delectable. The dry rub baby back ribs are were cooked to perfection. The meat had the nice red color that is desired with ribs and the meat had the hickory smoke flavoring that is usually associated with good bbq. The restaurant has both dry rub and "wet" style ribs. The dry rub is usually less juicy than the ribs covered with sauce but these were falling off the bone.

Another part of the meal was the french fries. Most restaurants usually serve soggy fries, but these had been soaked in vinegar which after watching enough cooking shows I learned keeps the french fries good and crisp even after they have been cooked a while without getting soggy. There was a seasoning used on them as well that gave the fries a little kick, but didn't make them spicy.

The bbq beans at this place were quite good. The beans had been cooked and weren't all runny like some beans can be. They also weren't thick as syrup either. They contained bit of beef brisket. The sweet tea at Corky's is another fine point of southern cooking. The sweet tea could also be described as liquid sugar. It reminded me of how family members make it around here there is no weakness to it.
The deserts at this place were phenomenal as well. I had the Chocolate fudge pie with ice cream and it was stupendous. The fudge was melted in the pie but didn't burn the taste buds out of my mouth. This was the best meal that I have ever eaten.
