Tennessee


Yesterday we drove from Amarillo to Conway, AR. Not a lot to report there.

Today, we drove from Conway, AR to Lebanon, TN which is just outside of Nashville. First we made our way past Little Rock and stopped in Memphis for lunch.

For lunch, we went to a place called Charles Vergo's Rendezvous. This place is known for it's dry rub ribs. It was also featured on the Travel Channel show Man v Food. These were probably the best ribs I've had in my entire life. The rub was mixed very well. When the ribs first arrived at the table, I caught a whiff of what I thought was Old Bay. The dry rub must have had some of the same ingredients. The beans and slaw that came with the ribs were AMAZING too. Check it.

After lunch, we then walked around Beale Street for a little while. This area is pretty hopping and probably looks more impressive at night. There were two bands playing though and it was a weekday. If this is what it is like during the week, I can imagine it being pretty awesome on a Saturday night. There are more pics on facebook.

With our bellies full, we headed towards Nashville. The town looks pretty nice. We stopped only for a short while though. They have this fake Parthenon that is actually a full size replica.
Sorry this is so short, but we mostly just drove today.
