We played 2 Robert Trent Jones golf courses on this trip at the Shoals. A couple of the holes are along the Tennessee River. The first day we played Fighting Joe and then Schoolmaster on the 2nd day. Both of them were beautiful courses but I think I liked Joe a little better. Maybe it was because I was playing better. On the second day we asked a guy from Kentucky to take our pic but for some reason we didn't get a pic of the two of us.
After golf we decided to look for a local bbq place recommended to us the night before. We enjoyed Bunyan's BBQ and tried the ribs, pork sandwich with coleslaw on top and a 'slaw dawg'. All of them were great but New Riegel is still our favorite. Bunyan's did have a white peppery vinegar sauce that was different and good.
After playing golf on the second day we headed out to Memphis to check out Rendevous BBQ. It was in downtown Mempis in an alley and has been considered # 1. We tried the beef brisket and a slab of ribs. There ribs are charcoal grilled and dry rubbed. Then served with a vinegar liquid. They were tasty but not very 'fall off the bone tender'. The brisket was very good. Their slaw was a mustard vinegar slaw which was great.
Again we still feel that we like
New Riegel Cafe's ribs the best. After eating we got on the road and spent the night in Little Rock, Arkansas. The roads in Arkansas were terrible and we spent over 2 hr. waiting at a standstill due to roadwork and an accident. On our last travel day we drove over 14 hr. to get home and checked out Old Town Witchita.
I think I'm 'ribbed' out for a while...........We traveled over 4370 miles, drove through 12 states, ate ribs 4 times, listed to 3 audio books, played golf 2 times, and gained 3.5 lbs!
