Many have grown up with Memphis Blues; those who were children are now bringing in their children! A staple in Vancouver, Memphis Blues celebrates their 20th anniversary this year.

Stay tuned at @memphisbluesbbq to see up and coming details - there will be giveaways and celebrations all round!

Our Story

Memphis Blues BBQ

In January of 1999, George Siu (an original owner of Not Just Desserts) and Park Heffelfinger (Vancouver Wine Academy) had a stopover in Memphis while flying from New Orleans. Lunch was a pulled pork sandwich, and it was love at first bite.

Since then, they have attended the World Barbecue Championships in Memphis where they conducted extensive research. They were able to reproduce the recipes at home, and decided to bring authentic Southern barbeque to Canada.
