Memphis Dry Ribs

It is impossible to discuss Memphis barbecue without talking about ribs. Where in most places the rib-loving factions are divided between those who prefer baby backs to spareribs (or vice versa), in Memphis the two different camps are partisans of either dry or wet preparations.

Either way, no tomato-based sauce touches a dry rib from Memphis.
