I don't think this particular product is the one that will get me to start eating stuff from Oscar Mayer.

Actually, we've had this product in Memphis for years. We call it "Corky's" though...

I'll have to agree also, I've been to the original in Ocean Springs a few times, it's more about the atmosphere than the food these days, it is a pretty cool place to hang out, have a few beers and listen to some live music. You also get some pretty good "resturant" BBQ as well. I do find it is better than the other few BBQ joints in this area...of course, we are not really famous for BBQ down in this part of the world.

It's a big name endorsement for sure.

Man. If it looks like this for the PROMOTIONAL photos...

^^^ Mighty fine bark on that sample.

Looks like they spelled "bored" wrong though. Someone should've caught that.

I'd like to see the ingredient list on that, "pulled pork."

deguerre · 12-13-2012, 10:34 AM

Also...since when is 11.5 OZ a "Family" size?!?

Exactly! Maybe if it's a one person family. That still wouldn't be enough for me!

I think that would be more than enough for our family. I expect we'd have more than half a pound of leftovers too!

(what'd they do with the bark?

)

True that. My wife is from Memphis and when we were dating and after we first got married her parents were still living there. They thought the sun rose and set on "Corky's." I was NEVER impressed. Tasted like just run of the mill pork with some sauce splashed on it. The ribs were slathering wet and dripping with pure sugar sauce. The dry rub would be the ones that I would always hit because I could actually taste some pork in them from time to time and they were just better tasting to me than the wet ones. Her parents still just rave about Corky's but to be honest I've had better at some mom and pop "hole in the wall" joints ran out of run down shacks. Corky's is one of those things in my mind that is WAY over rated.

Speaking of holes in the wall type places, if you are in Memphis and ever get down to Starkville, there is a place there I used to get q from when I was a student there that is pretty dang good. It is an old black man and he has a house trailer set up with some wood burner smokers out there. If he is still open and hasn't changed anything, it is good eats. The name of it back then was "Petty's BBQ"... I haven't been back to that area in several years though. Little Dooey's is over there too but I wasn't never as impressed with them as I was Petty's.

That's enough for each family member to take a bite of, spit out & then eat real BBQ.
