How a Memphis Restaurant Makes a Barbecue Bologna Sandwich | Eater

"Founded by Bobby Bradley Jr.’s grandfather, this Memphis barbecue institution—one of the city’s most popular—keeps original menu curiosities like barbecue spaghetti and a barbecue bologna sandwich alongside locally renowned ribs and wings as a way to preserve the family legacy. The bologna sandwich is made by slicing thick rounds on a meat slicer, rubbing both sides generously with barbecue seasoning, and grilling each slice (pitmaster Vernon Watson cooks them up to about 30 minutes) until they develop a deep, appealing color; the finished sandwich is plated on a burger bun and topped with barbecue sauce and slaw. Bradley and his team continue to showcase these heirloom items while also serving classic barbecue plates like ribs and wings." - Avery Dalal
