GLENWOOD OAKS RIB & CHOP HOUSE
           |
HOTTEST PLATES IN GLENWOOD Way down in the south suburbs among the horse farms, this big restaurant and banquet hall dates back to 1925. Inlaid wood-topped tables seem appropriate for the old-fashioned steak-rich menu, but ribs are the real thoroughbreds here. Baby backs are hickory smoked in a custom oven and served for maximum convenience on patented cast-aluminum platters. Slanted stands brace the ribsfor easy cutting, and partitions at the top and bottom hold bones and more of the tangy sauce. Clever, but it's all about the ribs-juicy, tender, and clinging to the bone. |
