The 2011 International Chicken-Rib Cookoff runs JUNE 22-26, wrapping up at 6 PM Sunday. On Wednesday I sampled some of the goods and tried to capture some ambience with some iPhone 4 video. www.sparksstree...
We were at Ribfest this year and had a great time! Afterwards, we walked to Parliament Hill and down to Rideau Centre. All in all, a really great day! Gananaque is holding Ribfest this weekend. We may go as it's closer to our hometown of Kingston. Thanks for sharing your experience at Ribfest 2011!
See, in Ottawa we have limited exposure to BBQ so RibFest for many is the only chance to try it. Having said that, we had two BBQ joints open in the last year on the Market. But I feel I will always be a BBQ noob unless I travel extensively in the south. I heard in Texas alone they have three styles of BBQ... I am from Montreal myself, plan to visit there again tis summer. Thanks for commenting.
haha i was there this past summer. looked for myself and my gf but couldnt find :(. i remember that one guy at 3:04 kept telling my gf and i that we wouldnt last lol. he was right. best ribs ive ever had tho. i live in houston texas was just up there and kinda fell in love with montreal. ottawa is very similar to houston i find.
