Rudolphs
Minneapolis, United States
Established in 1975 and named after famed silent screen heartthrob Rudolph Valentino, Rudolphs has been drawing in patrons like its namesake had with movie crowds. Though Valentino himself never won an Academy award (having passed away before the first award ceremony, held in 1929), Rudolphs BBQ has earned the name recognition, being voted twice as "Best Ribs in America" and local favorite 17 times to date.
