I don't think I've ever read a single passage from an issue of Details magazine. I just might subscribe to the sombitch due to the fact that its May issue proclaims Memphis' Cozy Corner to be one of the best BBQ joints in the U.S. of A. Check it out:
Memphis gets slagged for being an overrated barbecue town that’s more sauce than substance. Cozy Corner is the decisive riposte, a pint-size shop run by Desiree Robinson—widow of the founding pitmaster Raymond—that specializes in amazingly tasty Cornish game hens and slaw-topped barbecued-bologna sandwiches. Then of course there are the spice-rubbed, sauce-slicked ribs, which Robinson manages to give an irresistibly succulent bite.
The last time I ate at Cozy Corner, I did so with my co-workin'/road-travelin' bud Frank. When we left the place, we were stuffed to the gills with pulled pork, rib tips, and Cornish hen. Frank'd never been to Cozy Corner prior to our visit, but he emerged from the place as a confirmed Number One Fan. Pretty good testimony, if'n you ask me.
Oh, here's what you need to know about Cozy Corner if you're goin' to Memphis:

Most of the good, even the average, BBQ spots also have a good burger since they usually grill them over the same heat as they use for BBQ meat.
And that Memphis BBQ ain't that sappy, John Edwards poofter North Carolina-style stuff neither. That BBQ sauce and flavor is infused in the meat brother!
Bozo's barbeque outside of Memphis is really good.
OK, SECOND TIME FOR ME TO TRY TO POST THIS.
I am biased because I live near it but Center Point Hendersonville has great bbq.
