BBQ Ribs + Pulled Pork Shoulder

Indulge in one slab of Charlie Vergo’s Rendezvous’ world-famous ribs-with about 12-14 rib bones on each slab-and one 2-pound tub of pulled pork shoulder-enough shoulder to make 6-8 sandwiches. You’ll also receive a bottle of world-famous Rendezvous Barbecue Sauce, a jar of Rendezvous’ iconic Rib Seasoning, and a bag of BBQ popcorn!

Located down an alley in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee, Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous is dry-rub barbecue heaven. In 1948, Charlie Vergos cleaned out his diner’s basement, discovered a coal chute, and started a legend. Thousands of barbecue lovers flock to The ‘Vous each week. Named “The Best Barbecue Joint in Tennessee’’ by Southern Living, Rendezvous is world-renowned for its dry-rub ribs – which are rubbed with a signature celery seed-kicked spice blend and grilled over charcoal, picking up the undeniable flavor of the well-seasoned pit – and their insanely good nachos, which have been featured on Travel Channel’s “Man v Food,” Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate,” and Andrew Zimmern’s “Bizarre Foods.”
