The OP is talking about Ribfest in the St Ben's area, you're talking about Naperville Ribfest. Having been to both, I can say without question I prefer the Chicago version. Ironically, I seem to be allergic to a lot of suburbanites.

Because I recently relocated to the burbs and am married to a suburbanite. [info]atlanticat knows all about that and my reply was to them, thus no explanation.

You mean there's a Ribfest somewhere other than Naperville?

I am amazed and know not what to say.

Say "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeat!" cause that's what they have at Ribfest. And deep-fried Snickers bars. Them too.

Unfortunately, I am unavailable this weekend to experience the meat. I shall have to experience it next year.

For the past couple of years there has been a food vendor selling fried candy bars at Ribfest! They are battered and deep-fried and then topped with powdered sugar. They are hot sticks of mouth pleasure!

Also, you gotta go on the Red Baron® Ride! Hopefully, no one will barf up rib meats on you.
