Memphis barbecue leans on the dry rub and long hickory-and-pecan smoke times rather than the sauce-forward styles that get more press elsewhere, and Central BBQ is where you go to understand why that matters. It's a lively, counter-order barbecue joint with four locations around town; the owner tends to post up at this Poplar Avenue spot, handing out plates of smoked meat like a man who never tires of the job. The smoked chicken wings are the sleeper move.

Smoked chicken wings
“perhaps the best meat that exhibits the Memphis-style dry rub approach is the smoked chicken wings, which come in a variety of flavors like jerk, dry spice, and sweet heat.”

Beef brisket
“Beef brisket here comes pre-sliced, all the easier to eat with your hands at the table.”
