RibTown BBQ

"A South LA barbecue trailer known for its incredible pork ribs, beef ribs, and rib tips slathered in sweet barbecue sauce. Owned by Lonnie Edwards, who announced its closure due to personal and financial challenges." - Matthew Kang

"Lonnie Edwards is the smiling face behind Ribtown, the daily parking lot rib specialist in Jefferson Park. His off-set smoker, small selling trailer, and a few open-air tables are all it takes to turn out some of LA’s most notable rib tips and beef ribs." - Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang

"To put Ribtown’s size into perspective, its offset smoker is bigger than its entire trailer. Parked in a pawn shop’s parking lot in Jefferson Park, this weekend barbecue operation is known for its melty pork rib tips. Each one is the best parts of a spare rib compacted in two bites: fatty, cartilage-y bits smoked low-and-slow until they’re tender and squishy to the touch. They’re great for lapping up  Ribtown’s sweet-smoky barbecue sauce that gets all over your fingers (because you’re definitely eating these with your hands). Ribtown also makes great brisket and snappy hot links that burst with salty, fatty juice when you bite in." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
