I think I read somewhere that Santander was there earlier this week, and that it was very good.


I've been recently, and it was just fine, the way I have usually found it. Not as good as the stalwarts (eg, Uncle John's, Barbara Ann's, Lem's) but solid like Best's, I-57 etc.

A friend of mine often brings the rib tips from Ribs 'n Bibs to weekend lunch parties, and they're usually pretty good if a little on the chewy side. (Got tips from Uncle John's last night which were awesome.)

Does anyone know whether Ribs 'n Bibs in Hyde Park will ever reopen? I read something to the effect that they were closed by the state of Illinois for failure to pay sales taxes. If they're gone forever it's a real shame - they've been under the same management for 45 years, though the owner (Vince Schoenberg) died a couple of years ago and his family has been running it since. I've been going there for 40 years.
