I love ribs and I aint afraid to admit it. I grew up going to rib festivals in Pittsburgh where my love of ribs began with world famous Michelbob ribs. Yum! They really are the best. The rib festivals in the midwest host over 100 bbq vendors and allow the attendees to cast their vote for the 'best' ribs. The winner gets a big chunk of change. It was always obvious who the front runners were by the long lines but every vendor offered a sampler platter for a few bucks so you could try out as many as your stomach could handle. Great way to get people to stick around, eat and drink beer. The NYC festival is MUCH smaller. When Joe and I found out NYC was having a 'mini' rib festival back in June, we marked the calendar immediately. The festival was held on Pier 54 by the Hudson River and had five vendors. They didn't offer sampler sizes so we only tried two places. The best we had was from Dinosaur BBQ. Their ribs were tender and full of flavor. See pictures below!
