Ribs, for His 'n' Her Pleasure

Comments (0) By Paul Friswold Wednesday, May 24 2006
Of all the things one can stick in one's mouth, the barbecued rib is perhaps the most enigmatic. Its meat-yield-to-eating-effort is prohibitive, it's a messy procedure at the best of times, and ribs always make you thirsty; exactly why are ribs so popular? Don't ponder the ineffable, son — just stick one of those smoky-sweet babies in your maw, and find enlightenment. The Rib America Festival (www.ribamerica.com) concentrates some of the nation's most dedicated rib-tenders at Soldiers Memorial Plaza (1315 Chestnut Street) from Friday to today (May 26 through 29). Admission is free before 4 p.m., but you'll need plenty of cash to satisfy your pork needs. And don't fill up on bread or sides: That's a rookie mistake.
May 26-29
