      Ahhh, hometown goodness. :) I definitely count myself lucky for growing up in Murphysboro, about 2 minutes away from this restaurant. My dad was giving me their bbq sauce when I was just a couple months old. I'm 16 now, and I've been so many places that, upon knowing where I'm from, people immediately recall 17th Street.

      Hands down the best ribs in America, and I've eaten at barbecue joints from Carolina to California. The pulled pork is awesome, too. This place is an eleven hour drive from my home in Louisiana, and I've made the drive more than once. It's that good.
