re: Well, we're going to Memphis

For BBQ The Rendevouz has some of the best ribs. Germantown Commissary is very good as well as Central BBQ.

If you have kids definately take them to the Zoo. It's one of 4 in the US with Pandas. They opened a new exibit last year with Grizzlies, wolfs, elk and a few other things.

Also downtown is Gus's Fried Chicken. It is wonderful. I think it's on front street.
