Creator's Key Takeaways
The baby back ribs are melt in your mouth fall off the bone.
I would edit it if I didn't think it was, but really a great and it's a little unassuming corner in a strip mall.
I'm not even really a rib eater and those were so good.
I told Nico on the way out pretty soon we'll be talking about the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
