If you are lucky enough to be on St John today then do we have a delicious suggestion for you! Head on over to Mongoose Junction today, anytime from 4:30 PM on to participate in the 1st Annual St John Rib Cook Off. Not only will you help one of St John's most important volunteer organizations (more on that in a moment) but, you will be able to devour ribs some of which will be declared the 'Best of St John' for this year. Will your 1st choice win this year?

This year, at this time, there are six restaurants and cooks who have risen to the challenge and will be presenting their ribs for the ultimate judgment. They are: Aqua Bistro, Skinny Legs, Boozie Q, Steve Yerger of St. John Catering, The Tourist Trap and LaPlancha del Mar.  And, it would not be a St John event if there were not music (local musicians, including Mikey P., Freedom Boat and Mark Wallece, will provide live entertainment) and liquid refreshments (St John Brewers and West Indian and Bellows International will donate their proceeds to St John Rescue).

Check out the Virgin Islands Daily News for more details on the Cook Off and please take a look at the St John Rescue website and like the   St John Rescue Facebook page to learn more about this amazingly important all volunteer organization whose mission is ' saving lives and dedicated to building better lives through education, participation, and community'  (what could be more worthy than that!).

Not on St John today to partake in the First Annual Ribs Cook-Off? Don't fret, you can still help by donating to St John Rescue. Start your planning now to be on St John for the Second Annual Ribs Cook Off!
