For me, the finest rib joint in the world is 17th Street Bar and Grill in Murphysboro, Illinois. It's owned by Mike Mills, whose Apple City BBQ team won Grand Champion at Memphis in May three times. He also has restaurants in Marion and O'Fallon, Illinois, and two joints called Memphis Championship BBQ in Las Vegas. His cookbook "Peace, Love and Barbecue" is a good 'un as well. www.17thstreetbarbecue.com C
