“Dear PoPville,
DC people, are there any places that do proper memphis* bbq?
*none of that NC, SC, KC, or MO nonsense!”
Some early replies:
“Really good Memphis style wings at Tallboy in shaw.”
“Coming from someone from the KC/MO scene (which is, of course, superior to all others because it is the one I come from), but I’d give the ribs at Backyard Smoke Spot a try.”
“It’s not the best, but the sauces are solid and it is strictly Memphis style: Red Hot and Blue”
“Ahem. NC and SC are the real deal. Everything else is nonsense. Haha. In all honesty, getting good bbq around here is a challenge. Federalist Pig is pretty good. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for.”
“Smoking Kow BBQ / Alexandria VA”
“Try Myron Mixon’s in Old Town Alexandria.”
“As a Memphian that moved to DC in 2015, I have not found a place yet that does true Memphis BBQ. Federalist Pig is alright. Probably closest. Hill Country BBQ Market is good too but usually crawling with downtown workers and tourists.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
