Ribs WINNER!

Similar to the deep dish food fight, all the ribs looked a bit similar. Sure, the meat was cut differently, their shapes weren't the same, but line them up and it's hard to tell which rib is from which restaurant.

Yet, there's no questioning how every rib tasted different depending on the cut of meat, the way it was cooked, and the barbecue sauce that topped it off. My friends and I argued back and forth - after moments of silence to finish eating each rib - but in the end their was one clear winner who won the prize of official ribs food fight champion.

(Note: When I told people they didn't need to vote using 'round' numbers, they interpreted that quite liberally).

THE OFFICIAL RESULTS

Smoque BBQ baby back ribs WINS!

Smoque clearly came out on top. Maybe it had an unfair advantage, considering it had two chances with two different slabs of meat, but what made this food fight tons of fun - other than the choice of food - was that all of the ribs tasted completely different.

While BBQ took home the coveted prize, not all agreed with the results. Despite Russell's poor showing, some of the eleven eaters/friends stood by Russell's, claiming that it should have at least done better than Honey One, mostly because of the awesome sauce.

Do you agree with the results? Where do you go when you want a hunk of messy ribs?
