Can you guess the most beloved food for people in Tennessee?
From the hearty gumbos packed with flavor found in Louisiana and the juicy king crab with melted butter served in Alaska to the fresh fish tacos perfected in California and the unique meaty product known as scrapple in Delaware, each state has one dish that stands out from all the rest.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the "most-loved dish" in all of Tennessee is barbecue ribs. This smoky dish is a BBQ staple so naturally many restaurants offer their own twist on the dish (especially with Memphis being known for its particular style of barbecue), but the ribs found at The Bar-B-Q Shop in Memphis are a definite must-try.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this beloved dish and which restaurant serves up an amazing take:
"Succulent pork ribs are a Tennessee staple. They can be ordered wet with a tomato-based sauce or dry with a rub of spices, and are traditionally cooked over charcoal. The Bar-B-Q Shop in Memphis cooks both versions to perfection, so you can decide on your favorite."
