Wow, that sounds good. Thanks Tom!

Yessir.

You can search for my earlier post and get the approach taken by the BBQ Shoppe on Madison in Memphis.

Tom, thanks for that recipe.. it was complex time wise to make.. but it was good. Made up a good batch for a recent church potluck and it went over big. I thought it might have been a bit spicy.. but even the young'uns loved it.

I'll try to find the BBQ Shoppe version to see if it is a bit simpler for the next time..

Bill

Glad you enjoyed.

Hey Tom,
I have been trying to figure out the best BBQ spaghetti in Memphis over the past year. Going back and forth from Interstate on 3rd St., and the BBQ Shop on Madison.
Luckily I haven't figured it out yet.....

Yep,I like to visit both places.

I probably enjoy the BBQ Shop more,overall.

I don't know if I'm the only one here to notice a similarity between Neeley's BBQ sauce and Hunts Sloppy Joe sauce or not, but tonight I mixed a couple of pounds of diced butt in with a can of the sloppy joe sauce, dumped it on some spaghetti, Whoa!, hot diggity it was good!
