I spent a decade in Memphis, so believe me when I say I know what it tastes like. And this burger nails it. A perfectly cooked 6-ounce smash patty lays the foundation, juicy with those crisped-up edges only a hot griddle can give. Then comes the pulled pork, slow-smoked Clayton James-style, tangled with just enough barbecue sauce to sing without drowning out the rest. Crispy pickles snap through the richness, while the onion rings deliver tender sweetness inside and a golden crunch outside. A creamy coleslaw pulls it all together, each bite wrapped in the buttery hug of a brioche bun built to handle the weight. It’s bold, messy, balanced—like Memphis on a Saturday night. This isn’t a burger. It’s a love letter.
