Here's How I Got My Wife To Go To Memphis - Weekly Links - May 26th, 2017

... She'll do anything for good food.

My friend, Andy Daniels' Tent won 3rd place at the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ rib contest.

 

 

 

Almost as good as the ribs, were the puns - Aporkalypse Now, Love Meat Tender, Me Dry Rub You Long Time.

 

 

 

We had a good time.

Here is a peek at what I've been reading lately. These are the links I saved this week.

Hope you find some interesting and enjoyable tidbits.
