Charlie Vergos Rendezvous

"Shockingly flavorful under their blanket of spice, Charlie Vergos' dry-rub charcoal ribs have become a Memphis signature dish. The beans and slaw are inconsequential. What's needed here are flagons of beer!"
Michael Stern






"Pork loin is a boneless alternative to ribs. These hunks of meat are so tender that they virtally fall apart when you look hard at them. They come pre-dressed with excellent Rendezvous sauce."
Michael Stern



"Long before suppertime, when the Rendezvous opens its doors in General Washburn Alley, the smoky aroma of charcoal-cooking meat wafts through the streets of downtown Memphis, even into the Peabody Hotel across the street. "
