Memphis-Style BBQ Ribs
Dry-rubbed pork ribs, slow-smoked over hickory wood. They are typically served 'dry' with a side of sauce for dipping, rather than being sauced during the cooking process. The dry rub is a blend of spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.

Fried Catfish
Catfish, a popular fish in the region, is often breaded and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. Served with hushpuppies, coleslaw, and tartar sauce, it's a true Southern delight.
