All-American Summer Rib Fest

Take your summer BBQ experience to the next level on August 13, when Lucques in West Hollywood hosts its 17th annual legendary rib fest. Your $55 ticket gives you permission to faceplant voraciously into a plate of pork, beef and lamb ribs, in addition to hot wings, corn on the cob, tomato-watermelon salad, grilled cornbread, collard greens and a slew of other irresistibles. The staff will be dressed rodeo-style (Stetsons and boots aplenty), and they encourage guests to style themselves for the occasion as well. If you don't feel quite in-shape enough to rock those ass-less chaps, the selection of "cowboy cocktails" should help loosen you up a bit.
