Ribfest Chicago 2011 | Photo gallery
Between quality bands, ribs and city folk, Chicago's own Ribfest holds a special place in our hearts.

With respectable musical talent of the our beloved Waco Brothers, some BBQ ribs and the easygoing folk of the Northcenter, Ravenswood Manor and Lincoln Square neighborhoods, Chicago's own Ribfest gives the Taste and any other music and food fest a good run for its money. TOC was on hand Friday as the fest kicked off—we'll be back again this weekend for a full review. In the meantime, check out this complete list of food vendors and bands—you'll be impressed.
