Interstate Barbecue, Memphis, TN

Rib dinners served with slices of white bread are a popular item at this pink-tiled ‘cue institution on the south side of town (where the Neely name first became associated with barbecue), but a large share of the folks who crowd the counter at lunch are after the “big as hell” smoked sausage, a super-bargain at $3. For something a little more out of the box, but equally delicious, try the Neely origina–Bar-B-Q spaghetti.
