Known for their dry-rub ribs, this St. Louis restaurant's house specialty involves slow smoking over apple and cherry wood.
St. Louis ribs, cut from the belly of the pig, are flatter, meatier, and have a higher bone-to-meat ratio compared to baby back ribs, which are more tender and come from the pig's loin.

Schoop's Hamburgers is a burger restaurant in Indiana and Illinois that dates back to 1948.
"Fresh and never frozen, handcrafted and cooked to crispy perfection, a Schoop’s burger spills out of the bun. Throw in an order of golden French fries, a thick, rich shake, Chili & soups that are made fresh daily, all amongst a throwback feel, and it’s no wonder that the Calumet Region folks have been coming to Schoop’s for generations."

I had to try the burger, which was a bit smooshed but not lacking for condiments. Flavor was decent; pretty standard.
