May 14, 200421 yr I have always been a "Carson's Ribs" man...can anyone recommend better ribs? I am on the lookout for the best bbq!
May 14, 200421 yr I don't like ribs myself, but I like bbqing. We have to get the tank filled, but since we just bought the grill at the end of last season, I think we will be doing plenty grilling this summer.
May 14, 200421 yr A place on Roosevelt Road in Berwyn called Giovanni's used to have the best ribs I ever had, but I know the ownership there has changed and I haven't been back there in awhile, so I don't know if they're still as good.

Giovanni's is "bla" now. Their sauce it to "runny", IMO. Personally I like The Patio. But Carson's is very good, also. Nothing beats the back yard variety though

Nothing beats the back yard variety though That figures, there wasn't another decent rib place within 10 miles of me. I was never a big fan of the Patio, but Carson's is still a good bet. Another place I thought of that had good ribs was the Red Barrel, on Archer and around Kostner or so. The place has a new name now, something like SZutukus, so I doubt they sell ribs anymore

If you live in a house, you have to get the gas company out to run a line from the gas line to your grill. That way you never have to worry about filling the tank. Very convenient.
May 14, 200421 yr Author The best BBQ in the world comes from Texas. No questions asked. Know of any places in Texas that will ship to Chicago?
May 14, 200421 yr If you live in a house, you have to get the gas company out to run a line from the gas line to your grill. That way you never have to worry about filling the tank. Very convenient. Nicor won't run a natural gas or propane line. You have to hire an independent. We had it done while building the house we're in now. Very convenient indeed..
May 14, 200421 yr Know of any places in Texas that will ship to Chicago? Not me. Maybe Kap or Tex can help you out with that one. Either that or a google might be in order.
May 14, 200421 yr Know of any places in Texas that will ship to Chicago? There's actually a story - then another to follow: I used to work for an airline, the exec team is from here, but at the time, they were all living in Indiana. And they would for company get togethers they would always order BBQ and fly it up to Indiana. Then, having not been to Texas, that was always some good food! Of course, I'm convinced that is why management moved back to Texas, and they brought me with them, so that's why I'm here. Anyway, part II is there's a couple of companies from Memphis that do mail order BBQ. Difference between Memphis BBQ is it's dry BBQ, generally here in Texas it's wet. Of course when you put the sauce on it's all good. www.corkysbbq.com is one place that mail orders from Memphis, it's pretty good stuff. There's others. Do a google search and you'll come up with quite a few.
May 14, 200421 yr Nicor won't run a natural gas or propane line. You have to hire an independent. We had it done while building the house we're in now. Very convenient indeed.. Brian has been talking about doing that. One of these years maybe .
May 14, 200421 yr Lone Star or Rudy's for me. There is another place near Corpus Cristi and I cannot remember the name, also excellent. Y'all don't know B-B-Que until you've had Texas B-B-Que.
May 14, 200421 yr They're not the BEST ribs, but Dick's Last Resort is fun enough that it makes up for it. Dont get me wrong... the ribs are still really good, just not the best
May 14, 200421 yr I hate Kansas City, but they have awesome BBQ here also. Ten days and It's sweet home chicago for me. :fthetwins
May 15, 200421 yr Backyard BBQing for sure, u can grill almost any type of meat on it and it'll taste nice.
