Memphis-Style Barbecue Will Soon Arrive In Dallas | Eater Dallas

"A 35-year-old Memphis barbecue chain is expanding into Texas through a partnership with a Houston-based franchisee, with a Houston opening slated for September and at least one Dallas location expected shortly after; the franchise agreement could eventually support up to 17 locations between the Dallas and Houston markets. Unlike Texas-style barbecue that centers on brisket, the chain emphasizes Memphis-style pork—ribs or shoulder dry-rubbed and smoked over hickory—and while brisket is offered, pulled pork is the true star, showcased in its signature dish: a bowl of spaghetti piled high with pulled pork. The move is positioned to introduce Dallas-area diners to Memphis-style pulled pork as an alternative to the metroplex's brisket-dominant scene." - Amy McCarthy
