Couldn't agree with Jerry more. I wouldn't miss these two for the world.
If you like barbecue, there is a 17th Street Bar & Grill in O'Fallon, less than 20 miles from Granite City. Google "17th Street Bar & Grill" for directions. From their home page:
"In the early 1990s he (Mike Mills, owner of 17th Street) was co-captain of the Apple City Barbecue team, one of the most celebrated teams ever on the circuit. He is a four-time World Champion and three-time Grand World Champion at Memphis in May (no one had ever won Grand World Champion more than once), otherwise known as the Super Bowl of Swine. He is also the 1992 Grand Champion of the Jack Daniel’s World Invitational Barbecue Cooking Contest and he won the Jack Daniel’s Sauce Contest that year as well."
His Murphysboro, IL location was featured on the Food Network and Bon Appetit magazine once said his ribs were the best in America. Believe me, it is worth the trip. It is on a four lane road just off I-64, so your navigational skills don't have to be that good. You will certainly see me and Kyle there. I have no connection with them, except I really like their food.
