Memphis Blues Barbeque House
Memphis Blues Bar
In January 1999 George Siu (an original owner of Not Just Desserts) and Park Heffelfinger (Vancouver Wine Academy) had a stopover in Memphis while flying from New Orleans. Lunch was a Pulled Pork Sandwich, and it was love at first bite. Since then, they have attended the World Barbecue Championships in Memphis where they conducted extensive research. They were able to reproduce the recipes at home, and decided to bring Authentic Southern Barbeque to Vancouver.
Plates of barbeque arrive at the table ñ brisket, sausage, and corn bread ñ and we sip on some bourbon. Pairing spirits with a meal? Any skepticism is quickly put to rest as the bourbon does a fine job of matching the sweet/smoky flavours of the barbeque. Highly recommended.

So good even Porky Pig would be tempted to eat his own in this place. Incredible pulled pork on a bun, dripping homemade barbeque sauce, amazing beef brisket or savoury smoked chicken or sausage, done up in the on-site smoker.
