"If you still haven’t had BBQ from The Slab in South Shore, now is the perfect time to correct this. Their specialty is St. Louis-style ribs, which have a satisfyingly charred bark lacquered with a sweet and slightly spicy Chicago sauce. Also, for god’s sake, get the candied yams. They’re rich and sweet, and make us way more excited than yams really should." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Slab is a family-owned smoke stack that serves links, rib tips, chicken, and baby-back and St. Louis-style ribs. The South Shore restaurant uses hickory in its aquarium-style smokers. Slab also makes its side dishes — fries, cole slaw, and macaroni and cheese — on site." - Ashok Selvam
"If you haven’t had BBQ from Full Slab in Stony Island, the Super Bowl is the perfect time to correct this. The ribs are tender and chewy, have a satisfyingly charred bark, and are lacquered with a sweet, slightly spicy, Chicago sauce. Also, for god’s sake, get the baked beans. They’re tangy, sweet, and will change your life." - adrian kane
"Slab is doing take-home steaks, ribs, burgers and more for Memorial Day, plus the usual weekend array of smoked meats." - Farley Elliott
"Slab offers a prime chance to gnaw into rib tips or pork hot links." - Ashok Selvam
