May 6, 1994

One of the best things about my time in the Midwest was access to top quality barbecue. A few miles away in Murphysboro there was the legendary 17th Street Bar & Grill, winner of countless pork rib competitions on the local, national, and international level, and by far the best ribs I've ever had. However, some people didn't even think they were the best ribs in that town, and the main rival was the Midland Inn. On this night I went there for ribs with one of my fellow art students. Better than anything ever found in my home state, but not quite as tasty as the ones on 17th Street.
