Coming to Memphis for the Hip Hop Weekend and I'm staying a couple extra days to take advantage of the city's offerings. What I would really like to try is some real deal BBQ. Can someone point me in the right direction?
By the way, thought I want to try Memphis BBQ, I'm also down to try any other food that Memphis is known for, so suggestions for that would be great, too!
I don't know what Hip Hop Weekend is, but I know my Memphis BBQ! When I used to live in Memphis, BBQ joints held a special place in my heart because they were where you could find me on my cheat days. So yeah, I know them well :) Anyways, here are some of my favorites:

You have to go to Bar-B-Que Shop, Memphis for barbecue spaghetti – it's a Memphis specialty. And FYI, Charlie Vergos Rendezvous serves charcoal-broiled ribs that are dry rubbed and based with vinegar that are touted as the best in Memphis.
