being a Memphis girl, I prefer my pork on a half rack with dry rub and then some good tasty Rendezvous BBQ sauce slathered on. And, being spoiled by growing up amongst such stupendous southern cookin', I feel the need to enlighten you BBQ jongs about Memphis' Holy Trinity.
Its low and slow, wet or dry, sweet and savory, with some wet hickory branches throw in to add that smokey one of a kind flavor.
Shoulder sammiches are also preferable. With beans & slaw & cornbread....MM MMM MMMM! Taste so good, you'll slap yo' mama!
Here are 3 or my favorite haunts for good BBQ back home in that city by the Mighty Muddy:
The one and only, the Rendezvous; the palace of pork, the mine of swine, the brig of pig...ok, ok, I'll stop. but good god, my mouth is watering. The waits are sometimes ridiculous, prices sometimes a little high, but well worth it. Half-rack, dry rub, with BBQ sauce on extra, beans & slaw. C'mon. You know you want to.

Corky's: you want that half-rack wet or dry? Every one has an opinion, but the one thing we all agree on is that its a damn fine way to get your fingers messy and your belly full.
