Hickory-smoked, Memphis-style, hand-pulled barbecue is the hallmark of Corky's, where music from the '50s and '60s fills the background. New units are planned in Illinois and Kentucky and the chain is said to be eyeing expansion in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland through CBBQ, a Tampa-based group that owns the franchising rights.
