Hadn't used my MB 560 in a good while, I promised ribs to my best friend (she loves ribs) of course, I struggled for 30 minutes trying to get the fan to kick on. I was literally going to give up and tell her I'll take her to a good local BBQ spot. When it just magically started working. This cook also taught me if you put baked beans in a pot under the ribs they become even better from the fat that drips off the ribs. Something so simple, but I'd never thought of it. I think next rack I'll see if rib fat drippings make smoked mac & cheese better. Is there anything that wouldn't be better with pork fat though? Unfortunately, I couldn't find the Meat Church Holy Gospel rub, so I used Famous Daves. And the only BBQ sauce I had on hand was Famous Daves Sweet & Zesty. I honestly dig their sauces and the rub's not bad at all. I suppose those 2 things would be #1STWORLDPROBLEMS. Was going to do 3-2-1, but I got lazy and impatient and just did 3-2. The ribs could have been just a bit more tender, I don't go for fall off the bone, but a slight bit more tender would have been nice. Again #1STWORLDPROBLEMS. lol
I mentioned I was pretty lazy, so no 5 cheese baked mac or homemade cornbread. I've never been to the south, but I know a lot of BBQ joints in some areas serve the meals with white bread. So, I got some potato bread and did my best attempt at Iron Chef/Chopped plating, which would have gotten me MAYBE a 2/10 on plating from the judges lol.
I actually really enjoyed the slice of bread, and it's sure a helluva lot easier and quicker than making cornbread or biscuits.
