[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the South (lived all over the South growing up so no real 'hometown') and I second the poster above who mentioned Publix! There are a lot of good grocery stores in the DC area too but I still miss my Publix.

Other favorite brands: 
Blue Bell ice cream (despite the recent recall:))
Community Coffee and French Market coffee (which I can sometimes find up here but not always)
Steen's Cane syrup
[b]Corky's BBQ and BBQ shop bbq and bbq from many other Memphis establishments
Dinstuhl's fine candies (also from Memphis)[/b][/quote]

Memphian here ... Oh man do I miss good BBQ.  Rocklands is the closest for pork shoulder, but I haven't found good ribs within 400 miles!

Dinstuhl's is also a nice treat, but I'd trade all the 'turtles' in the world for a decent bbq place. I miss Paynes most, though it's not a brand like Corky's. [/quote]

NP here. I grew up in Memphis too. I so miss all these! Rocklands works if I just need a fix other than that nothing comes close.

Yep, Payne's is great. Also Cozy Corner, the Commissary, Central BBQ...too many to list. I don't even try BBQ around DC very often, to be honest, because I have given a couple places a shot (Hill Country, for one) and they were just...so. disappointing. that I now pretty much just wait til I go visit my parents in Memphis to eat BBQ. And my favorite thing from Dinstuhl's is the cashew crunch--something you can't find at other candy stores[/quote][/quote]
