On my cross country trip last week, we stopped by Mickey's BBQ in St. Louis.  Got the pulled pork sandwich and it had coleslaw on it.  I was a bit hesitant about the coleslaw but once I dug in, I found the sandwich to be one of the best I've ever eaten.  Does anyone have a Memphis style coleslaw recipe to share?

And if you are passing through St. Louis, stop at Mickey's.  It is right off of I-70 and is wonderful!

    Slaw, Coleslaw, Memphis-Style, Corky's

    Eric-H, here are a coupel of Memphis style slaw recipes. My memory is that the slaw was "yellower" than what you would get with Dijon mustard but maybe you can swizzle this a bit.

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 md Head green cabbage - cored -- and shredded
    2 md Carrots; peeled and grated
    1 Green bell pepper; cored, -- seeded and finely diced
    2 Tbs Onion, grated
    2 cup Prepared mayonnaise
    3/4 cup Granulated sugar
    1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
    1/4 cup Cider vinegar
    2 Tbs Celery seeds
    1 tsp Salt
    1/8 tsp White pepper

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Wash cabbage and discard tough leaves. Core and shred.

    2. Place cabbage, carrots, green pepper and onion into a large bowl.

    3. In another bowl, mix together remaining ingredients. Pour over veggies in large bowl. Toss well.

    4. Cover and chill for 3 - 4 hours before servings.

    Recipe Type: Side Dish

    Corky's is the BOMB.   I didn't know that slaw on the BBQ sandwich was a regional thing! I figured everyone ate it like that!

    I usually make a tangy slaw, or use a slaw kit from supermarket here in No. California! I love it on pulled pork sammies!
