Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage is a sauce-heavy feast: glazed ribs with corn on the cob, a cheeseburger crowned with a single huge onion ring, BBQ chicken over shoestring fries and a full rack of baby backs.

Roger reported a major food coma. It was not his first visit — baby back ribs from Phil’s were posted in May 2012 — so this was a return trip with a bigger order.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Baby back ribs and beef ribs
  • A cheeseburger topped with a colossal onion ring
  • Shoestring fries

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A Phil’s feast, less than a year after the first ribs — food coma guaranteed.
