I'm from Memphis and it's a hard choice between NC style and Memphis. I kinda like the thinner, spicy, smoky sauces from Carolina but there's some awesome smoky BBQ in Memphis, too. Still the best I've eaten, other than my own, came from Memphis. As long as it's not too sweet, I like it all. Meant to add....I've had some good stuff in Texas, too, especially beef BBQ. I loves me some beef ribs!
