Memphis Blues earns iconic status

It seems like we've known George Siu for decades, and I guess we actually HAVE. George is one of those rare types who seems born to entertain; I'm usually very quick to warn most folks like that to steer clear of restaurant ownership, as it is more often than not different from what the prospective restaurateur pictures. Not so for Siu, who has had the golden touch when it comes to food service operations through his whole career.


George Siu looks exactly the same as he did about 25 years ago when we first met. And once he combined talents with veteran wine-rep Park Heffelfinger, the duo was surely destined for greatness.

How time flies, n'est-ce pas? The pair's successful Memphis Blues Barbecue House has now been open for a decade. Consistently excellent food, and I hearily applaud their new Texas and Louisiana-style sauces.
