Much to my delight, I received a call last week from one of the two co-founders of Memphis Blue BBQ (MBBBQ) - George Siu. He felt it was time for their magnificent BBQ emporium - to give back to the front line nurses and surgeons who work tirelessly and endlessly, to help keep patients alive in this time of COVID - 19 crisis !
He offered to provide lunch for the Emergency Surgical Staff at MSJ Hospital in Vancouver - who it should be known - has been open during this global pandemic - to provide a hospital venue for urgent and emergency surgery. Kudos go out to George and Park for providing absolutely the best BBQ food available in Canada - to keep the staff on top of their game, ready to rock n roll during any surgical disaster in this world crisis situation.
I have a bit of a personal experience with true BBQ, as I trained for 72 hours under the watchful eye of a seven time participant in the Annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tenn., which has been running for 31 years. I have visited multiple BBQ restaurants throughout the planet - including 11 in Nashville, 4 in Memphis, 4 in Dallas, three in Austin, 2 in Portland and one in both Stockholm and Munich. I regularly use my Cookshack smoker, my house favourites being pulled pork and ribs that make the friends keep coming back for more.
Every now and then I treat myself to the premium product coming out of Memphis Blues BBQ, right here in Western Canada, and I gotta say that they are hitting it out of the park. The best way for me to judge a BBQ joint, is firstly to see their BBQ pit area-and I gotta say-the MBBBQ set-up is like a low and slow BBQ nirvana, with dishes that compare or exceed the best in the business. Every time I chow down on their BBQ sauce, beans, pulled pork or ribs - I am flying high in my Michelin 3 star comfort zone, giddyup! But truth be known, their BBQ sausage hands down blows away any sausage I have had anywhere on the planet, bar none ....double giddyup with a whack of the killer MB BBQ sauce slathered on top!!
George and Park - our emergency surgery staff at Mount Saint Joseph's Hospital in Vancouver is proud to enjoy and brag about the virtues of your world class BBQ, anytime, anyplace - thanks loads to you 2 transcendent BBQ visionaries !!!
Everyone knows the foodie scene in Vancouver has exploded over the past few years and is growing stronger and stronger by the minute. It’s really great to know that certain events, festivals, and opportunities on the east coast are now slowly starting to trickle here to the west. Take U-Feast for example, it’s a very successful pop-up dining experience from Toronto where they bring together foodies to wine and dine in an intimate and exclusive setting.
Elvis platter: The Elvis platter is meant to share for 6 people, which is what we did! Our eyes were wide and our stomachs were ready to devour this platter. It came with BBQ chicken,ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, ribends, sausage and beans, cole slaw, and potato salad as the sides.
