Charlie Vergos Rendezvous Description:
In 1948, Charlie Vergos discovered a coal chute in his downtown diner's basement and barbecue history was made. The Rendezvous, still owned and operated by the Vergos family, is best known for its pork ribs, both wet (with sauce) or dry (rubbed with dry spices). But the barbecue pork loin, barbecue chicken, and sweet-savory red beans and rice (both vegetarian and non-veg versions) are always good choices as well. In classic Memphis 'cue joint style, tables are covered with red-checked vinyl. The walls boast a mini-Memphis history museum with antiques and classic photos. Expect a wait, as the eatery is popular with visitors and Memphians alike. If you're lucky, you might even bump into a celebrity or two. To get there, you venture down a dubious-looking alleyway, then down the stairs. Only beer and wine are served, and if you're a wine purist bring your own bottle (corkage fee is $6 but not allowed if coming with a large party).
