Liberty Bowl 2010 Trip Review
FAVORITE MOMENTS:
- UCF fans throwing the red beads back on the street during parade
- All the delicious food which I detail below!
- Giving play by play updates to Knight fans in Gus’ chicken for Princeton BB game! We win!
- The sweet taste of victory over a traditional powerhouse to end an incredible month & year for UCF!
- Talking to D. Hallman after the game and letting him know what this victory means for long-time fans
- UCF chants and Zombie Nation taking over the Doubletree atrium/lobby after the game.
- Seeing Derrick again outside of hotel, then Jah Reid after the guitar dropped
- Buddha scaring the crap out of me in a top floor room at the spooky Earnestine & Hazel’s bar, never ever been to a bar like this before. 2nd floor bar tender was awesome.
FOOD REVIEWS:
Interstate BBQ : 5* – This was our first stop of the trip and I think most if not all of our pretty large group came away pretty impressed. Looking back I think this place was the most consistent in terms of having excellent sides and entrees. The pulled pork itself was 2nd only to Commissary but the sandwich which had the most delicious cole slaw on it makes it a draw between the two spots in terms of a pulled pork sandwich. In addition to having the best cole slaw we had all weekend, I think the same can be said for its baked beans. I also like that the place has a bit of the hole in the wall charm to it! I’m going to proclaim this as my #1 overall favorite BBQ joint in Memphis! If I had to choose only one place on a future trip this would be the place. [Read more →]
