WINNER
CALHOUN'S
Various locations
Eating ribs is great fun. At what other meal can you eat with your hands, get tangy sauce all over your hands and face, and still be etiquette-ly correct?
It's one of the few chances you still have in modern society to act like Conan the Barbarian. So take advantage of it. Regularly. Calhoun's will let you.
The ribs are both spicy and sweet, cooked to tender perfection. And after that first oozing bite, you'll be standing on the table, shouting for your battle-ax. Just remember to wipe your mouth when you're finished.
