Have any of y'all ever eaten at Sticky Fingers? I've read about them,
and wanted to eat at one for quite a while. A couple of weeks ago, my
wife and kids were in Chattanooga, and they tried it. To my chagrin,
they said the ribs were almost as good as mine! Normally, of course,
the family raves about dad's ribs, and say nothing comes close.
However, they were really stoked about this place.

I didn't even get to go! They went on a spring break junket without me,
and I asked them to try Sticky Fingers, they did, and they loved it.
Several years ago, I dreamed about opening a q joint, taking it
nationwide with good q, and great service, and damn if those guys didn't
do it! I guess many of us here dream about that, I still do. I probably
better stick to my day job though.

Occasionally, I'll get up at 3am, cook a hog, and have a hundred or so
people over. Usually by the time they leave about 11pm that night, I'm
cured!

I ate at the Chattanooga Skicky Fingers in Novemeber. I liked the ribs. I
recall that between all of us we order all the different types they offer.
Everyone was happy. Can't recall what my favorite was. Place was packed, we
had to sit at teh bar. Which made getting beer that much faster.

I cut them with a Forschner, my customers *eat* them with love and adoration
:-) Seriously, Vilco, go to any good mom-n-pop bbq joint in the southeast
and you'll likely not miss Tuscany a bit when you dig into a big ol' pile of
pork spare ribs.

We find lots of bad pork here too, thats why we cook our own and you
should too. We practically have no butchers anymore, just Walmart
factory processed meats.
