• Wild Hog Barbecue at Rufus Ribs

  John LinnA meaty scrap of hog ribs coated in Rufus' sauce. ​ A friend of mine lives a block away from Rufus Ribs, a road-side barbecue trailer with an outdoor smoker in Boynton Beach. He's there pretty much every week, gobbling down styrofoam containers full of meaty spare ribs and pulled pork. But for the past week, he's been telling me about owner Rufus Allen's latest "catch": a wild hog straight from the woods of Kissimmee. See, Allen is no stranger to smoking wild game. The promise of wild

• Still No Arrests in Robbery of Canadian Tourists in Boynton Beach

  What's with Boynton Beach suddenly becoming a hot spot for South Florida crime? Early yesterday, a couple of exhausted Canadian tourists trying to drive through the night to South Beach, pulled off on I-95 at Boynton Beach Boulevard, then parked at a closed gas station so they could switch drivers, only to notice a Chevy Impala pull in at the same time. Let's let the Boynton Police news release pick it up from there:The women decided to wait for the car to leave before exiting their car. As they

  OK, so maybe it's not the most riveting video of this month's clashes between congressional Democrats and health care reform opponents, but this is a perfect illustration of the media echo chamber we've entered. Below, a woman shooting a video after yesterday's Ron Klein forum in Boynton Beach. And judging by the proximity of those still photographers swarming her you can probably see the woman's picture in one of your local dailies.

• Going, Going, Gaoneras

  ​Tag and bag Las Gaoneras, the modestly ambitious and thoroughly delightful Mexican restaurant across the street from the goliath Renaissance Commons complex in Boynton Beach. The first U.S. outpost of a Mexico-based chain, it didn't even make it a year before folding.  A bit higher up the food chain than the taquerias -- faux and otherwise -- that are as common in these parts as summer thunderstorms, it got good word of mouth (see Gail Shepherd's review here) but suffered from its niche-

  Flickr user: thewentworths1At least the snowbirds love it here.​Poor Palm Beach County. First West Palm was named one of the most depressing places in America. Now a new Gallup poll of West Palm, Boca, and Boynton Beach residents has revealed that those most emotionally attached to the area are older snowbirds. In other words, the biggest fans of Palm Beach don't actually live here. They visit for six blessedly balmy months of the year, develop a nostalgic

• Troy's in Boynton Delivers BBQ Goodness

  John Linn​ For me, passing a barbecue stand on the side of the road is like seeing a leprechaun handing out gold bullion -- I pull my car over as fast as possible and get in line. So when I came across Troy's Bar-Be-Que this weekend, I had to check it out. I've heard some good things about Troy's, a red shack on the corner of Federal Hwy. and Martin Luther King Blvd. in Boynton Beach. Mostly that they don't necessarily plunk their pig parts in a smoker and leave them there for hours at a time;

Police say there's no evidence the two Cesar murders are related, but I'll venture a guess that this is the reason that the six basketball players
