Our last stop in Memphis was a dinner at Boscos Squared. Walter and I were joined by Trey Chinn '06 and three families from Memphis.

interstate
We found time to stop by what I believe is the best BBQ joint in Memphis. Corkys' is fine, Rendezvous is good, but Interstate's the best. Be sure to order a side of baked beans.
