Here's the thing about ribs for me...
I like ribs, but that's not the type of thing you'd eat on a first date or with anyone who you might wanna convince you have any sort of manners....
To enjoy really good ribs, you've gotta be able to roll your sleeves up, hang a napkin around your neck and be prepared to have it all over your face like a 3 year old eating spaghetti. A good rib joint will have a roll of paper towels on every table....and refills the roll often.
I mean, you ever watch lions kill something on Animal Planet? And the way they have blood all in their whiskers right after the meal before they settle down and bathe? Well, that's kinda how I look after a good batch of ribs, and I'm scary looking enough without having that going for me as well.
Nah, my everyday favorite BBQ is a simple pulled pork samitch.
