The only rib joints worth knowing in Edmonton

Everyone has their personal preference for which types of BBQ ribs are tops - beef or pork. But it’s really based on the restaurant, how long they’ve roasted or marinated the meat and, of course, the amazing sauces and sides that make this a complete meal. Don’t forget your bib and hand wipes when you check out these Edmonton spots.

They use St. Louis side ribs for their higher fat content, which helps keep them moist and makes them melt in your mouth. Their barbecue sauces are all made from scratch and ribs come in half or full slab. For a good variety, try the half smoked BBQ chicken and half slab Sloppy Hogg ribs.

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.

A slice of heaven: Perfect pie places
