Barbecue the old-fashioned way: that's what fans are looking for, and that's what Memphis Championship Barbecue delivers. The owner-founder hails from Murphysboro, Illinois, which apparently is a well-kept secret as a barbecue stronghold, and cooks Memphis-style; hence the name. If you've got a big appetite—or a big family—try Mama Faye's Down Home Supper Dinner for four; you won't go away hungry. Other choices include smoked hot links, barbecued pork shoulder, New York strip steak, and catfish. Oh, and on the side, treat yourself to some fried dill pickles. All three locations have a down-home, road-house aesthetic.
