In the south when i think ribs, i'm thinking pig, and cooked to the point that they're falling off the bone and slathered in a sweet sauce. In a proper BBQ joint the sauce is often applied literally with a mop.

The definitiion of proper BBQ quite literally depends upon where you're standing in the country.

Here in Georgia where I stand right now, my benchmark is Williamson Bros...pulled pork and a sweet 'n spicy sauce.
