Vote for your favorite ribs in Missouri
There are two main styles of barbecue in the state of Missouri, Kansas City-style and St. Louis-style. No matter where in the state you get your ‘cue, chances are you’ll see ribs on the menu. Spare ribs are so ubiquitous in the St. Louis area that they’re often referred to as St. Louis ribs and are typically grilled rather than slow smoked, as is standard practice for KC-style ‘cue. Our barbecue expert Ardie Davis recommends ordering the sauce on the side, as some places can overdo it (i.e. “baptize it”). Vote for your favorite once per day until voting ends on Monday, June 3 at noon ET. The 10 winning restaurants will be announced on 10Best.com on Friday, June 14.
