LOL-- I'm from Little Rock so I'm well familiar with Memphis BBQ. LOVE IT!!

Yes, like what was said, most cities in the South have a significant AA population... especially those on the Mississippi river. But I was reminded on my trip that (unlike urban Texas or California) there are still places in the South that DON'T have a significant Hispanic population. That's what was weird to me.
