Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

And now for something really important. I'm laying over in MEM. Getting ready to head out with my CA for some beers, blues and BBQ. Where's the best place to get good BBQ, Rendezvous?

Buzz,

Rendezvous is AWESOME for BBQ. But if you want beers and Blues as well head over to Beale St. If you guys have time, do both. :)

Rendezvous has the best dry rub ribs in town. But get there early as the ribs are juicier the earlier you go. If you want ribs and blues, The Rum Boogie Cafe on the corner of 3rd and Beale has the best blues/ribs in town. It was my favorite bar on Beale. Lots of history there. All of the greats play there when they visit town.

Buzz,

This is very true. It's also important to get there early because on a Sat night there will be a line out the door and into the alleyway. No, I'm not joking. They will be calling open tables over the PA all night.

Did everyone see where we are switching to CQ every 9 months now?

More time in the schoolhouse. Sweet! :p

Not only that - QUARTERLY CQ - hopefully quarterly makes it shorter than the annual.

BBq in Memphis, I'd recommend Central. Great food. Commisary is another top choice

Curious -I'm scheduled for the 606, 6 month portion of my CQ next month and it's not quite clear what I'm supposed to complete in advance - I think just the WWO CD, yes? I just did the full WWO last month (LMS, GS, 2 sims) so why am doing this now? :confused:

Re: BBQ in Memphis.

Flying Saucer for great beer and good-looking waitresses, then on to dinner at AR or Neely's. Rendezvous' dry rub is just too dry for my tastes.

I'll have to settle for a little Interstate at the airport this afternoon. Flying on Memorial day weekend because I was too stoopid to bid it off...:eek:

My personal fav bbq was memphis blues BBQ.

It was at the corner of beale street and the other main road that fed in from where our hotel is.

mmmm...

Then of course, youre on beale street so all the beer and blues to be had was right here.

AQP/CQ at fNW was on a 12 month cycle.
