I went to Memphis this week on a business trip and had the chance to visit Rendezvous.  It's one of those hole in the wall restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  The dry rub and the sauces there were out of this world.  I ended up picking up a bottle of their rub while I was there.

Tried the rub out on some St. Louis style Ribs tonight, along with some Chicken Legs...

I made the mop just like Rendezvous does...with some Vinegar, Water and the Rub...

image

 

I premarinated the Chicken Legs in the mop as well, and let those marinate for a couple hours before throwing them on the BGE.  I used the AR and grilled everything directly on the raised AR rig, over charcoal.  No smoke is added, but you get tons of flavor from the charcoal, mop, and rub...

I dusted everything down with the Rendezvous rub as it all grilled up...

Here is the Chicken finished....

And here are the Ribs...  I gave those another coating of the Rub once they left the BGE...

image

 

Served them up with some Homemade Fries and some leftover Smoked Mac n Cheese...  Some of the Mop Sauce was also spooned over the finished Ribs...

Everything was veeery good.  The Vinegar and the Rub go together perfectly.  Good stuff!  ;)

    I love Memphis dry rub ribs & yours look excellent! It would be interesting to see how the real rub compares to some of the reverse engineered versions in recipes I've made. The other vittles look great too.

    I am a bit surprised you were able to do them direct. The first time I made them the recipe called for direct grilling and I had all kinds of problems with flare ups. Massive flareups. I was doing 4 racks and I couldn't move them fast enough. Any other time I made them it was indirect and a 5 minute direct sear at the end.

    Thanks, guys and gals! 

    Jim, I had no issues in the least with flareups.  That's one of the beautiful things about the BGE, and it also helps to have the meat raised up with the AR or grill extender. 

    gte1, I found Rendezvous' technique online HERE...  I cooked mine for about 1.5 hours at 350 deg f dome temp.  I flipped, basted and dusted every 15 minutes or so until they were done.  They had just the right amount of tug when they were finished, and the meat came clean off the bone.  They were different than my usual ribs, but in a good way.
