After a mid day investigation of Graceland our heroes were attacked by sharp pangs of hunger. They were rescued by a local Shaman Chef who cooked them up a regional meal of Pulled Pork Sandwiches to cure their cravings at a culinary treatment center called Tom’s BBQ. The owner/manager, Adam, prepares his BBQ by letting it slow cook for 3-4 hours over charcoal. The legend of his BBQ powers have become even more widespread after Tom’s BBQ recently appeared on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. 
Both Adam and the rest of the staff were extremely hospitable to the achy-stomached travelers. The BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches were a one of a kind eating experience. When we unwrapped the sandwiches the soft buns were slobbered almost as much BBQ sauce outside the sandwich as inside. The BBQ prescription was accompanied by fries and complimentary strawberry shortcake. The pork was juicy and cooked to perfection so that it just fell to pieces. The meat was topped with crunchy coleslaw that was a perfect partner to the meat. The BBQ sauce was so sweet and tasty that it should be bottled and sold in shot form to comfort anyone having a bad day.
As a final parting present for our fully recovered travelers, Adam invited them to try the Rib Tips from Tom’s BBQ. These are the very tender ends of the ribs that are cut off of the ribs and seasoned with a dry rub. Tender meat surrounded small bones and formed an interesting eating experience. Most other BBQ places discard the tips but at Tom’s they’ve used all of the rib to warm hearts and stomachs of their patrons.
Tom’s BBQ is a must-visit for all Memphis travelers. Thanks to Adam and the friendly staff our heroes had the necessary nutrition to continue on their journey.
