What are the most delicious types of ribs?

Ever since I traveled to Memphis I've been hooked on the Memphis-style dry ribs; specifically ribs from Charlie Vergos's Rendezvous. Oh man, my mouth is watering so much right now just thinking about them!

What do y'all think are the best types of ribs? (e.g. Memphis, Texas Beef, South Carolina Baby Backs). Please explain your answer!

Kansas City ribs. There is a reason this town is home to the largest barbecue and grilling club in the world!

Kansas City was once the place all the cowboys brought their cattle, so KC became a mecca for people doing amazing things with meat and fire. Kansas City style barbecue isn't based on just one meat, but just about anything, and the ribs are fabulous. They take barbecuing as seriously as Milan takes fashion. The characteristic sauce is a combination of grilled-in smoke, heat, and stickiness from molasses (usually). A sauce invented in a kitchen in Kansas City in the 70's is now the nation's best-selling sauce (K.C. Masterpiece).

I have family there, so I've eaten in a number of KC rib joints. I love The Filling Station, The Smoke Stack (now Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ), and Zand's. The Filling Station is probably the best I've been to.

Here's a series of reviews a bunch of grill-off judges put together on KC-area rib places.

• I've heard many epic tails of KC BBQ, I think I shall have to travel there and try it some time! OH MAN, I NEED RIBS RIGHT NOW!

Throw some boneless country ribs into a crock pot with barbecue sauce, a little bit of OJ, molasses, honey, worcestershire sauce, cumin, thyme, mustard, and salt & pepper. Let it cook for 10 hours and they'll be oh so delicious. No need to go to a restaurant. Add some hot sauce if it's to your liking.

If you must go to a restaurant, Big Bubba's BBQ at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut has great ribs.

The best ribs are my smoked ribs. First you spice it up with your favorite rub. I use a combination of spices from Kansas City (the BBQ champion of the world)....Gates and Oklahoma joes. Get some pork ribs. Spice it up with the rubs. I also include garlic spices and some stuff to make it hot. Let it sit at room temperature for 4 hours. Throw it in a smoker at 225 for 3 hours. Smoke it with hickory. Then wrap in foil for 90 minutes at around 175. Perfect. I then it eat with Gates BBQ sauces and some BBQ beans.

Best ribs anywhere, Jerk Ribs from a roadside vendor, in Jamaica. Slowly BBQd over Pimento Wood coals, eaten under the shade of a palm tree, with an ice cold beverage of your choice. Now, within the realms of reality, Baby Back ribs, nice homemade seasoning salt, dry baked and slowly braised, with an assortment of sauces for dipping when the ribs themselves just won't do.

Roadside ribs on St. John USVI! I think it's the combination of the day in the sun, snorkling, eating with laid back locales and destressed tourists and ribs that have been cooked for hours by a guy with nothing to do but watch the girls go by and flip ribs.

I always thought that ribs are like pizza or sex... you know, when it's bad it's still good, and when it's good, it's really great!

Pork ribs, smoked, light on the sauce, big on the flavor, shared with friends and an ice cold beverage.
