Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
A rib-loving movie-studio exec opened this eatery in a tiny, circular hatbox of a building. The meaty, tender St. Louis–style ribs are particularly outstanding, with a spirited but not overpowering sauce. Aficionados of pecan pie should also beat a path here. A bonus: It's the only rib joint in town where you can order a bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild.
