That's when you change parks! (I should talk. I don't get up for
EMH's anymore. I even try to avoid parks with evening EMH's.)

When PiC is with me for a hard ticket event, we just go to DTD and
hang by the resort, then head into MK at 4pm. That way she doesn't
even have to use a day on her MYW ticket...

The place in Memphis is The Rendezvous. Ir's dry rubbed which I
personally like better than the wet.
As for sauce if your BBQ needs sauce then there is something wrong
with it.
Although you can order Rendezvous online and have it shipped to you
DON"T do it. Just not the same.

So,I take it that there is no demand for your Pavilion Restaurant to add
TOFU BBQ to the menu.

Arthur Bryants is overrated and overly salty. Gates is better, and
there are numerous small places about KC that are comparatively unknown
that also outshine AB's. My all time fave closed in the late 80's when
its owner, Oscar, died of kidney disease and none of his kids wanted to
take over.

And Bryants is in a neighborhood that makes the south side of Chicago
look like a children's playground by comparison.
