This reads like a solid, detailed restaurant review of Memphis Championship Barbecue in Las Vegas.

Highlights:

  • Strong first impression from the competition trophies and awards.
  • Standout items: BBQ nachos (pulled pork, cheese, sauce), beef ribs, hot link, mac n' cheese, baked beans, and collard greens.
  • Mixed results on the main meats: pork ribs tasty but slightly overcooked; brisket and pork shoulder decent; chicken notably dry and the biggest disappointment.
  • Portions were generous enough that you and your wife couldn’t finish the Grand Champion Plate.

Overall, it sounds like a place worth revisiting for the sides, nachos, and certain meats, while maybe skipping the chicken or hoping for a better cook next time.
