Leonard's Pit Barbecue

This Memphis barbecue joint was one of the first in Tennessee to be featured on the show, first appearing on in Season 3, Episode 9 which aired in May 2008. Here's what Delish had to say:

"You've got to get barbecue in Memphis, Tennessee. Luckily, Guy Fieri has already tracked down one of the best joints in town: Leonard's Pit Barbecue. The nearly century-old restaurant is one of the most iconic in the area ,and is known almost as much for its chopped pork sandwich as for the sweet mustard coleslaw that's served on top."
