| As you’re driving through Rancho Mirage on Highway 111, look for a giant brass pig perched like a mascot in front of Babe’s, and you’ve arrived at this fun barbecue destination in the valley. Okay, we admit there’s a bit of cheesy kitsch at work. But relax and order a Hog Wild drink---a Babe-style hurricane made with Southern Comfort---or try one of the house micro-brewed ales and lagers. Hickory-smoked meats include baby-back ribs, chicken and tri-tip. Don’t forget to leave room for a side order of sweet potato fries and the special slaw with pecans and Mandarin oranges (leave a lot of room, the portions are huge). Service can be uneven, but it's a party place. And that means crowds, so be warned. |
