The first weekend in May we are having some friends over to the house for a big rib cook. Rather than taking a chance on somebody bringing bad meat over or not get it here in time, etc, I am going to purchase and handle all the meat and then just let them repay me. Dont want to get anybody sick, and it saves everybody else a trip.
So I was thinking of just buying a case of both baby backs and spares.
Now I do have a question. Usually when picking ribs, you always see a few racks that you know you dont want for one reason or another. And you see some that you just gotta have. Is it luck of the draw on whether you get good ones or not when buying by the case? Just trying to figure out if its worth the case price savings vs. being able to pick through cryovac ribs and know exactly what i'm going to get. Purchase will most likely be from Sams Club.
