| - I haven't eaten at every joint in Pittsburgh, but I'm convinced that Homewood is the center of Pittsburgh's barbeque world. There's the Dream BBQ, and the Showcase, so close to each other you could do a rib-off and the sides wouldn't have time to get cold. Both are good places to eat, but the Showcase edges into greatness with ribs I found slightly more tender, greens that are fantastically smoky and good, and a Hot as Hell sauce that lives up to its name and is actually quite addictive. Vegetarians, if you get dragged here, it's worth noting that the sides are prepared without pork (according to the menu), so you have some delicious options.
Having eaten at both, my choice of Showcase or Dream might actually depend on the mood I'm in, the kind of sauce I want - but if I had guests and wanted to feed them really, really impressive ribs, I'd head over to the Showcase.
