In 2007, CL inaugurated an annual food phenomenon by pitting 64 of Tampa Bay's best pizza places against one another in a frenzy of slice-to-slice competition that eventually crowned one spot the best in the area. In 2008, burgers. In 2009, tacos.
For 2010, we're getting our hands dirty with something a little messier. Who has Tampa Bay's best ribs?
Starting in March, CL will ask our faithful readers to answer that question (and I'll put my two cents in as well).
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, we need suggestions to fill out the brackets. From street-side barbecue stand to waterfront restaurant, we want to know who serves the best pork ribs around. Dry-rubbed or sauced, smoked or braised, CL will take all you can offer and more to find the absolute best of the Bay.
Tweet (@cl_food), comment in this post, or drop us a line and tell us who smokes 'em like a post-coital Marlboro. Then we'll give you the opportunity to vote for the best.
Don't know where to go for ribs? No worries: You will soon.
