4) COMMENT ON THIS POST AS TO YOUR FAVORITE MEMPHIS DISH

Has it been 10 delicious years already?   It was in September of 2001 that local boys George Siu opened the doors of the first Memphis Blues Barbeque House onBroadway Avenue inVancouver.  The dazzling duo has gone on to serve tens of thousands of happy customers from all across the globe, winning dozens of awards, and garnering citywide and national acclaim – all in the name of spreading the juicy gospel of succulent, slow-roasted Southern baah-bee-cue.

The passion-fueled restaurant was an innovator from the start, and continues to be to this day.  Their first taste of recognition in their home city was winning the ‘Best New Casual Restaurant’ Award from the prestigious Vancouver Magazine, the first year after they opened.  Indeed, they were the first casual self-serve restaurant in the city with a sophisticated twist to what is now a celebrated, but reasonably-priced wine list, recognized by Wine Access Magazine as being one of the ’50 Best Wine Restaurants in Canada’ three years in a row.  Memphis Blues also boasts one of the most extensive Bourbon selections in the city!  Numerous other awards followed, including nods from the Georgia Straight, the Westender, North Shore News,Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Magazine, Wine Access, En Route Magazine, and many, more.

In their 10^th year of mouth-watering service, George and Park are preparing for further adventures.  After the successful issue of their best-selling cookbook, Memphis Blues Barbeque House – Bringin’ Southern BBQ Home (Whitecap Books, 2008), the pair are preparing to release a series of unique Memphis Blues Rubs and Sauces (to be available at the restaurants this Winter), and are planning a series of interesting menu additions, including a yet-to-be-named food challenge to be unleashed on an unsuspecting Vancouver in the next few months.

With its roots in Vancouver, you can now satisfy your cravings for their signature pulled pork, falling-off-the-bone ribs, hearty beef brisket, flavourful deep-fried catfish (did I also mention their amazing cornbread, baked beans, creamy homemade slaw…?) at not just one, but SIX family-owned locations across BC.  A new store is set to open in downtownVancouverbefore Christmas, and further expansion is planned forAlberta,Saskatchewan, andManitobain the coming months.  Memphis Blues has also extensively grown their catering division, and are a sought-after partner for weddings, corporate events, and more.  Now let’s eat!

As they famously said many years ago, “this is messy food folks.  Dive in and eat with your hands.”
