"Wet or dry?" is a question that you are most likely to only hear when ordering smoked ribs in Memphis, TN.  Unlike most of the country where ribs are coated in barbecue sauce (wet) before being served, Memphians celebrate the true flavor of perfectly smoked ribs but skipping the sauce and eating them with nothing more than a final dusting of dry rub (dry).
