So, I love me some ribs...I've been cooking them for decades, every cut and way imaginable and usually won't turn em down regardless of how they're cooked (that's led to eating some pretty scary ribs...lol)
If you like ribs and take your time with them I don't think there's a wrong way except.maybe boiling them...
BUT, I do have a favorite these days.
I like SL cut with a Memphis style rub smoked with apple and cherry chunks, and a very very light sauce burned on on a smoking hot grill. I don't prefer FOB ribs.
I.like a little pull and a little chew to my ribs.
I all but got shouted down at a local pub last night when BBQ and ribs came up in conversation.
I even had one guy absolutely insist that boiling ribs first was the one and only way to cook good ribs...well needless to say I didn't pay much attention to anything he had to say after that...lol.
BUT everyone else in the conversation insisted that ribs had to be FOB tender and a saucy mess or they weren't done right.
Now I'm thinking maybe they're rib eating experience is limited to chain restaurant ribs where that's usually how they're cooked, but I am curious; am I in the minority here or do most people really prefer messy FOB ribs.
Chime in...
