MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The mayor of San Antonio says everyone knows the best barbecue and basketball comes from Texas. The mayor of Memphis notes barbecue is prized in his city, where restaurant smoke stacks rise like steeples.
So the mayors have bet barbecue on the NBA Western Conference final.
Mayor Julian Castro will pay up with barbecue from The Granary `Cue & Brew if the Spurs lose, while Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. will put up the Rendezvous if the Grizzlies lose.
The Spurs lead 2-0 with Game 3 on Saturday in Memphis.

I have had bbq in both places. San Antonio all the way. I happen to like bbq sauce... Memphis avoids it.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Are they going to mail a shipment of BBQ over? Unless a mayor is going to fly to the other city?

Re ed, tbh

So, you like bbq sauce, not bbq.

[hooperflash]

I want some Salt Lick now... Memphis BBQ is delicious, but I can't live on dry rub BBQ. The sauce is the boss!

I have seen many photos of BBQ sauce on Memphis BBQ. I don't know where you ate.

[gameFACE]

Castro should have gone with Two Bros. on West Ave.

[DarrinS]

I just assumed our re ed mayor is a soccer fan

[gameFACE]

Stupid assumption, re

[Legacy]

K.

I like A1 sauce. On everything.

BBQ sauce is alright, too, though.

[Spur|n|Austin]

this is all dumb publicity.

Memphis and their ty flavorless meat covered in flavored dust. If the Spurs finish them off and win the series Castro should send some Bill Miller's trash and say here's Texas' tiest cue for the ty loser city to have

[Budkin]

Bill Miller's. How does that place even stay in business? I've had better BBQ in New York.

Too late they already agreed on where the BBQ is coming from.

[PÒÓCH]

Lame, how about something more risqué ? How about the loser gives his wife out to the winner for an all night ménage à trois?

[davidbowie]

is granary any good

???????????

All the best BBQ in Texas is dry, while Memphis is world-famous for their wet BBQ.

Their fried chicken is awesome though.

San Antonio BBQ is garbage anyways, so not like anything Castro would send would be all that much better than Bill Millers. Amazing how much world class BBQ there is 50-60 miles north/east from San Antonio and yet everything in the city itself and suburbs sucks. But seriously, to really hate on Memphis they should send some of that ty Rudy's brisket.

The moist brisket is not bad, but all in all, Rudy's is trash in terms of BBQ. Cooper's, Luling's City Market, and Smitty's for life.

What world class places are you talking about? Just curious. Also what place do u like best in SA?

City Market out in Luling and Smitty's and Black's up in Lockhart are all amazing. City Market is my #1 for sausage (and overall) and Smitty's is my #1 for brisket (though I have heard Snow's kills even Smitty's on brisket).

[capek]

Re ed, tbh

It's just a way for local governments to get involved and promote their cities. My suggestion is to de-sand your vagina.

[bigfan]

Frankly, from what I remember the BBQ in SA blows. He should have bet the Number 3 combination plate from the Jacala.
