Sun Studios
Buffalo Trace
Payne's BBQ (Memphis)
Gus' Fried Chicken (Memphis)
Cozy Corner (Memphis)
Mammoth Cave (Bowling Green-ish)
Jack's BBQ (Nashville)
Four Way Grill (Memphis)

Any advice is appreciated and greetings from Chicago!
Sounds like you are on the right track. Go to Rendezvous for some ribs. The Commissary is one of my favorite places for BBQ. I could live off of the biscuits at Gus's, oh yeah, the chicken aint half bad either. Check out the Tobacco Bowl while you are on Beale. It is not to far from Beale and a nice place to have a cigar and coffee.

I haven't done the bourbon trail yet but it is on my to do list.
