Dix Barbecue & Brewery ****
Got a hankerin' for big, meaty, authentic Southern-style BBQ ribs? If so, they're as close as downtown Vancouver, of all places. The Dix motto is "let the sauce run down your sleeves," so prepare yourself for a memorable (and possibly messy) dining experience. (Pssst: these are almost the best ribs around!)

We've been getting closer and closer to that goal over the past couple of years, but our dream has not been realized until recently, when wine-biz veteran Park Heffelfinger and our old friend George Siu (who founded Not Just Desserts) got together as the result of daunting research, and trial and error to produce the ultimate Vancouver rib and pulled pork experience!
