Sticky chicken in Brentwood.

 

I'm thinking this sounds like a good spot for the next Matt's Mini Meet

 

I second Sam's BBQ, but I'm going to have to give Henry's Hi-Life in downtown San Jose one extra bone ahead to get my top vote. Another place I like is Blue Rock in San Jose off of Meridian/Hillsdale.

 

I love ribs, but I thought I should mention the worst ribs you can buy.


#1 = Chili's baby back ribs. OMG are they HORRIBLE! No meat, taste like crap, dry and I have no idea how they can sell that crap!

#2 = Tony Roma's ribs. Rip off, no meat, and taste awful!


The ribs paul brought to BAM were the bomb! The cooks were sooooo awesome!

 

I'll second that! I used to go there for lunch all the time when I worked in milpitas. Damn good and pretty good deals. Make chilis look like butt stew.

 

my favorite ribs to date have to be MY OWN lol. Havent had good bbq ribs when i have been out that are like mine. Nothing beats home made.

 

Alton Brown's baked rib recipe is by far the best damn recipe EVER. Ribs bake in the over in a bath of win and like 10 seasonings, just the best ribs you'll ever have. Everyone who tries them when I make them is blown away by the uniqueness and texture of the meat, just doesn't get any better then that. If you can, do yourself a favor and make them, so good that I'd pay over $50 for a plate if served at a restaurant. No question.

 

Gilroy or Tracy =( ... so far away haha.

Usually eat there after shopping at the outlets =)

 

Henry's Hi-Life has been hit-or-miss in the last year I wonder of someone quit ; Sam's is always good.

 

Best ribs in the Bay (IMHO):

1. Henry's Hi-Life in San Jose (OMFNOM)

2. Ma Pinky's in San Mateo

3. Windy City in San Mateo

I am not saying these are the best hands down as I have not been to many of the places mentioned - but you can bet I will, starting with Mack's since it's in my town here... These food threads rock!

 

Oh damn that sucks! Been going there for 10 years now. Just went a few weeks ago and it was AWESOME so there is hope. Just don't go on Sharks nights haha...

 

rib cook-off reno!

 

i went couple years ago, and the ribs there was just AMAZING. nothing like i have tasted around here.

 

oooh, I've wanted to try Hi-Life since I saw it on Man vs. Food

 

Memphis Minnie's

The rib tip appetizer is a meal in itself.

And though it's a bit off topic, their brisket is the best I've had including many trips to Texas.
