Memo's Chop and pit BBQ in the Big Nine district of Chattanooga, Tenn is the textbook definition of an institution. For almost fifty years, this neighborhood eatery has survived a battery of forces that have threatened its existence only to grow stronger and more legendary. Vic Willams' and his family run Memo's with love and a secret sauce that turns chopped hot-dogs into a culinary experience like few others in the South. As long at Memo's remains, so will the memories of a once legendary strip of music venues and night clubs that rivaled Beale and Burbon Streets for their contributions to American popular music. Come for the chop, stay for a history lesson, all served up by the Willams' family.
