The steak house still remains but both are long gone .... and the place is marginal now.

Asking for BBQ sauce at Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous BBQ in Memphis will earn you a good matured scolding and lecture on the evils of "wet ribs", complete with the threat that "you do not deserve my ribs!" They are also IMO some of the very finest ribs in the known and charted world ..... and I have eaten at the best BBQ joints from NC to TN to TX to KC .... and all points in between.

LndLocked: Lived in Memphis for 5 years The biggest battle was what was better dry or wet ribs. had been to Rendezvous many times. My wife flipped when she saw the only thing they changed on their plates was the aluminum foil...gross her out

The second biggest argument best place for catfish.

Best pull pork sandwich was a little place on Elvis Presley Blvd (I think it was Bills BBQ) run by husband and wife. the wife's father started the Leonard BBQ

Belgium claims to have invented the french fry. they grow specials potatoes. They cook their fries twice once with beef broth at 155 and a second time with oil at 375.

a woman I worked with went on a diet which focused on eliminating condiments. so she had french fries but not ketchup/catsup because of the sugar content. she went down to skin and bone and she was a tubby

Well, that is one restaurant I would not go to in Ft. Myers.

Ditto.

Forbidding salt-shakers at the tables and ketchup for those over 10 sounds like they might be trying to promote health, but somehow I doubt it. It's still a fast-food hamburger joint.

Fries will still be deep fried, hamburgers will still be "juicy" and served on a white-flour gooey-bun.

It's still mainly about taste, not health.

You can lose weight pretty quickly by eliminating all white foods (sugar, white bread, potatoes, rice etc.) But it's awfully dull and hard to stick to.

If you read the article, it never was meant to be about health. The resto provided truffle aioli for the french fries, a lot more sophisticated taste than ketchup. I am not condoning their refusals of ketchup or salt; I'm just saying it's has nothing to do with health.
