Milwaukee's best ribs, 2009: Saz's State House
Though thousands of people consume Saz's food during the summer festival season, the ribs provide the backbone of the menu at the venerable restaurant that opened in 1976 on State Street. "You always want to be known for something," founder Steve Sazama said. "We're known for ribs." Those ribs narrowly edged Speed Queen for top honors in this year's OnMilwaukee.com readers poll.

Is the tavern industry immune from the recession?
For years, tavern owners have heard that their industry is virtually "recession-proof." The theory holds that people will head to bars in order to celebrate when times are good and drown their sorrows when times are bad. Walk into your favorite local watering hole these days and you're likely to see a whole batch of new food and drink specials, designed to keep customers coming and cash flowing through tough economic times.

Fest presence drives area restaurant crowd
