CANCELED! International Meat-Up in Memphis in June 2018

[rharman]

I would really like to see more hands on stuff. Maybe we could have teams make the meals, with Meathead giving tips and maybe setting the direction. We could all learn a lot from Meathead as well as the other participants.

In addition to Malcolm Reed I would consider contacting Mark Lambert (Sweet Swine O Mine) and Heath Riles (Victory Lane). They both live in the Memphis metro area.

I live about 10 minutes away from Memphis so I'm PUMPED for this meatup!

Meatcraft BBQ what part of the area are you in. I am in Olive Branch.

I'm also in OB! Great to see another member from DeSoto county!

[vandy]

That is great Meatcraft BBQ! Good to know there are some members from my neck of the woods.

This is a little off topic, but semi related and the BBQ contest was brought up... Ever think about doing a vendor booth at some of the bigger national contests? Memphis in May, American Royal, etc

[ecowper]

How am I just now noticing this????? Okay, I'm in. All the ideas above are awesome. And, since we are in Memphis, it would be great if we could get one of the Memphis area pit masters to put on a "Memphis style ribs" demonstration/class.

Two things:

1. Is this the first Meatup? If not, what did you guys do last time?

2. I'd love some tastings where I could see what the best of the best tastes like. Like when I created the KC sauce from amazingribs.com, I wasn't sure what it was SUPPOSED to taste like so I wasn't sure if I was off or close or spot on.

[djotaku]

While a good point, some of them involve ketchup or mustard and that's going to be different based on Hunts vs Heinz, etc.

But really, I'm more curious with the meats because of the variation based on all the different factors Meathead lists: heat, time, meat, humidity, etc

Earlier this year the very first Member Meat-up was in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas, back in Feb. So Memphis next year will be the 2nd annual Meat-Up. To see all the excitement from that occasion, see it's topic....

Bummer, just renewed our tickets to CMA fest which is the same dates. Living in Nashville, Memphis would have been great. Oh well, maybe next time!

[Spinaker]

This is gonna be epic! Never been to Memphis, so I am really looking forward to getting down there and hanging out with all you turkeys!

[Craigar]

I have a feeling I will have to take off the following week just to recover.

[Spinaker]

Agreed! Craigar

[HouseHomey]

I think I'm going to commit to throwing my hat in,

Wow just saw the post for this Meat-Up, looking forward to it, live in Olive Branch just outside Memphis. I'm definitley on board!! Too bad the dates couldn't have been the 3rd weekend of May when the World BBQ Championship is going on. If you never been to it you are missing out. It is the largest Pork cooking competition in the world with over 250 teams from all over the country and many other countries, and over 100,000 in attendance. Fantastic event on the banks of the Mississippi River. Of course it would be harder to find hotel rooms at that time, especially at the Peabody. Can't wait to see all of the events and seminars at the Meat-Up. I'm going to make sure I make my vacation plans around those dates for next year.

I will more than likely be attending this. I live 30 minutes away!

[vandy]

Yeah you are not far at all, nice to have another person from the area here. Great to have you and hope we can meet at the get together next year.

[cmiller0711]

Awesome im really looking forward to it!

Sounds like a possible Road Trip for me and the wife 16-17hrs. We did Nashville, Memphis, Lynchburg trip in 93. A lot of driving but an awesome trip. I highly recommend a side trip to The Jack Daniels Distillary it was a lot of fun and very informative.

[Steve B]

Is there any more info about hotels, rooms ect.....
I totally plan on being there and can't wait to meat all of you maniacs.

[Boca Mike]

This sounds like fun. I'd like to try to make it. Long haul from Southern Florida but you never know.

[Henrik]

I'm gonna fly over from Sweden, so you better make an effort ;-) ;-) ;-)
Just kidding, but as always, the more the merrier.

[HouseHomey]

I'm all in on this one. Go_ willing, Homey is crushing Memphis and perhaps picking up Mr. Bones on the way. One never knows.

[HawkerXP]

In the fire truck?!

[Baker Dan]

Very interested and will attend. Will there be a home base hotel?

[Craigar]

The Peabody was mentioned as a possibility.

[vandy]

AHH! Nice place! and right in the middle of down town.

[mattcotool]

Definitely won't miss this! Already made reservations!
