It is no surprise that each region has developed its unique style of barbecue. Barbecue has a long and rich history in the South and is an American staple in Southern cuisine. Red Hot & Blue is known for its authentic Memphis-style barbecue and Texas brisket. However, in addition to Memphis and Texas-style barbecue, there are two other famous barbecue styles, which we will discuss in Part 2.
Memphis Style Barbecue
The signature barbecue at Red Hot & Blue was born out of the South. We cook fall-off-the-bone pork daily using our world-famous low-and-slow smoking method. Pulled pork barbecue is made by smoking a pork shoulder because they have enough fat content to give them a rich, tender flavor.
Our barbecue is hand pulled when it comes off the smoker and delivered fresh to your table. Please choose from our seven delicious sauces or enjoy a delightful Memphis-style pulled pork sandwich.
Texas Style Barbecue
Texas is predominately known for its juicy and tender brisket. A brisket is another name for the breast meat of a cow. It is a cut of meat full of connective tissue and can be challenging if not prepared correctly. Red Hot & Blue has perfected the art of smoking a Texas-style brisket. We smoke our brisket for 12 – 13 hours using our proprietary rub.
This slow cooking process gives time for the connective tissue to break down. The fat slab on the brisket provides the rest of the meat a symphony of flavor as it smokes. A Texas brisket can be enjoyed plain or with one of our many sauce options.
