I try to get to all the Rib Fests in Durham, and often go to the Toronto one too. My daughter likes all the merchants and will spend lots of money on t shirts and jewelry. I usually enjoy a half rack of ribs, or if my wife is with us we'll split a full rack, usually with beans, cole slaw and a blooming onion or butterfly potato. I will choose a different ribber every time, often based on the shortest lineup.
 
So far my favs have been Hawgs Gone Wild and Camp 31. I haven't tried 'em all as yet. I usually go with about 4 buddies and we all split up and buy a rack from a different vendor then share it among the group. Mmmm, love ribs.
 
I do not love ribs, but we go once every two or three years when it comes to Scarborough.
 
Personally I'd like to see a real "hometown" rib competition, like you see in other places, where any regular guy or local restaurant makes their stuff and they are blindly judged. Things like this Toronto ribfest are kind of like a Conklin show of pork. Same guys, same setup go from town to town, and "compete". I put it in quotes because of a conversation I had with some of the guys that were at the Aurora ribfest a couple years ago. They all get their ribs from the same supplier (buying huge bulk is cheaper), they are processed and cooked much the same way with slight variations in seasoning and sauce, and the "winner" seems to be a different booth from town to town. Notice how the ones from "Texas" or "Kentucky" don't have regional accents when they speak? Hey, don't get me wrong, for a facefull of ribs and a cold beer or two, what the heck, it's a good time. What it isn't is a real rib competition.
 
We always go to the one in Gravenhurst, which I'm sure doesn't have as many vendors as other venues. It doesn't matter, though. We go about half an hour before closing time and always find a place that will give us a full rack for the price of a half.
