In order to get to this place you will probably get lost and just happen to find it. The Jackson, MS paper, The Clarion Ledger, has a food critic that travels the state. He has given 5 stars on a 4 star scale once. To a little rib place called Leetha's. This will be a ways south of I-20, but if you have the time it is well worth it. She is only open from Thurs-Sat night, the place is two old shotgun houses put together, and the ribs are started on Wed and cooked for a loooong time. The only menu items are beef and pork ribs or chicken. The atmosphere is very unique. I don't have any directions or number, but if you call the paper and ask for Epicurious, they should be able to help you.
