Not sure which shack it might be. But a little SW of West Memphis is Jones Bar-B-Q Diner 219 W Louisiana St, Marianna, AR 72360. Run by a little old black man, on a side street in the middle of a residential area. Choices are a pulled pork sandwich on white bread or pulled pork by the pound.
I believe it's the oldest black owned restaurant in the US. James Beard award winner too.

I had the slaw on the sandwich, good stuff, no sauce to hide anything...

Gore thoroughly enjoyed reading your reviews and the rationale. I agree it is very difficult to compare Texas style bbq and real....uhhh...I mean Carolina style bbq haha. I love both very much, but they are very much different creatures. I agree Scott's has the best bbq, but the Hemingway (original) location is better than Charleston. Rodney explained it to us as he can't sauce it as much in Charleston as he can in Hemingway. At home people are used to it, in Charleston it might be too vinegary (this is why they have bottles out to add more). To be honest the best thing that knocked my socks off at Rodney Scott's were the wings. Those were unbelievably great. I have often wanted to travel to NC and try some bbq like Skylight Inn and other places.
That was a great list. Got me wondering what my top ten are.
If you ever do a KC que tour holler at me. I also haven't been to KC and it was be be great to meet up with you again.
I usually order ribs at restaurants because they are more forgiving but I was in KC for work last week and the brisket at Q39 was incredible. One of my teammates from TX was skeptical of burnt ends, but now he can’t stop talking about them.
