What could possibly beat a Memphis Blues brisket sandwich?

A Memphis Blues smoked prime rib sandwich! $9.95 for a mound of marbled heaven, slathered with BBQ sauce, Carolina mustard and served with thin-cut fries. Just look at all that marbled goodness.
This sandwich is a rare treat for lovers of this Vancouver barbeque mecca. I asked co-founder Park Heffelfinger how often this sandwich is available; to my chagrin, I heard “only once or twice a year” and “for special occasions like Father’s Day” in his reply. So it must have been kismet that I dropped into Memphis Blues this day of all days.
I’ll be dropping by with my dad next month for Father’s Day on the slim chance that we’ll see the chalkboard announcing the return of the smoked prime rib sandwich. And if my dad doesn’t order it, well, dang it, that just means more for me!
Want more Memphis Blues?
Check out the restaurant profile that I’m slowly building out as well as the photos below, which contain snaps of the Memphis Blues cookbook launch at Liberty Wine Merchants over at Park & Tilford. I’m going to try my hand at the cornbread recipe some time this week.

I’ve never eaten here, but I’ve heard nothing but great things about it!
Have you read my restaurant review of Memphis Blues in Vancouver?
Great post by the way!
As you know, I am a lover of the Blues. Faves include the Prescilla Platter or the Pulled Pork sandwich with a side of shrimps.
I usually hit the one on The Drive b/c Trev knows the manager and they are just frikkin’ hilarious. If you sit near the cash counter, you can hear staff talk about the craziest things that happen to them. Quite entertaining.
WC: When you do get the chance to try it, let me know what you think. There’s also a cookbook if you prefer to try their stuff at home. Their cornbread is better than the stuff I’ve had in Georgia to date.
Raul: Thank you; I’m going to have to browse your site for more food recommendations!
LC: What’s this? You can order a side of shrimp? You learn something new each day. Funny you mention the conversations…I was sitting near the counter today. They were talking about good Asian restaurants in the city. Was trying to weed out names but all I got was Banana Leaf (which we already know and enjoy).
