Just know this ...

In the annals of barbeque history, if you will, there's never been a more overrated BBQ restaurant than Charles Vergos' Rendezvous in Memphis. I'll get around to doing a proper review of the place one of these days. In the meantime just know this ...

A friend gave me some Rendezvous Famous Seasoning recently and I tried it on some pork chops tonight. As much as I don't like Rendezvous the Resturant, I gotta say that I enjoyed Rendezvous Seasoning very much.

If you like lots of sweet paprika and garlic flavor, Rendezvous Seasoning is a wonderful accompaniment to grilled meat. To wit:

Granted not everyone likes dry ribs and that is what The Rendezvous is famous for. But The Rendezvous has ribs that are unique among ribs because of the Greek influence of the original owener, Charley Vergos. The Greek influence comes through from the mint spice in the flavor of the rib rub. You speak like you havent tried Rendezvous ribs in a long time, and I cannot wait for your review when you revisit them.
