Memphis in May

We started the afternoon off by stopping by a local BBQ place,The Pork Shop, to try a different restaurant. Ron, Ann, Steve, Hank and myself had a great time and some great food. We even had BBQ spaghetti. It seems they BBQ everything here.
Memphis in May is one of the Largest BBQ cooking contest in U.S. Row after Row of people using their smokers cookin' pork. Everything from Ribs, loins to whole hogs.
The smoke was everywhere, including on yourself. Of course we did a little testing whenever we could. I even tested several for People Choice award.
Each contestant has decorated their place, set up their cookers, then had a party.
It was like Spring break in Florida, a huge beer party.
My favorite was the Mess Tent from Mash. It had a distillery in the corner that looked just like Hawkeyes! Very cute.
The Mississippi River was overflowing the banks...very fun to watch the barges go by.
