Spare Ribs Question

[Scott Campbell]

I don't eat at chains ever if I can help it.

I'm not fond of chains in general either, but I'd love to get a Pappadeaux in Salt Lake. It's the only place I can find a real gumbo outside of LA and Houston.

Re: Spare Ribs Question

I am doing some research on BBQ spare ribs for a client of mine and am looking for some benchmarks on quality and value.

My question to my fellow rats is which chain has the best ribs in America and why??

Any tips and insights would be greatly appreciated.

I'm all for those that say the mom n pop local joints have the best restaurant food rather than the chains.

One place you could look is at foodnetwork.com. Click on chefs and go to Guy Fieri and then go to his show "Diners, Drive-in's and Dives". He checks out the best of the best across the country. Then just search for ribs.

Cajun is the food that needs to be exported to the rest of the world. And they can start by exporting it to Utah.

You can start by exporting your fry sauce, too! Can't find that stuff anywhere else but Utah!

Fry sauce is ketchup with a secret ingredient mixed in. (mayo)

The food here is truly awful. They know their way around dutch ovens, but other than that, it's not a place that any foodie would put on their bucket list.

Ever been to Eaton's place?

Tuscany? Yeah, a couple times. He's knows for his chops. It's pretty good.

Fuck people, why not just answer the guys fucking question?

He wants to know a chain resturant that does a decent rib, Smokey Bones, Famous Dave's...

Not so fucking hard?

Fuck, why can't you read. Someone already mentioned those.

And, if you are gonna complain....why don't you at least get it right..he wasnt' asking what chains. He asked which is the best and why.

Is that so hard?

The bigger question is, how much is Tarlam getting paid to poll the rats about ribs???? Is that what big bucks for consulting buys you nowadays?

Close, but no cigar. I'm not getting paid for this.

And Ty, I did ask specifically about chains, so Nutz was dead right. Restaurants with trained chefs etc. don't interest my client at all. My client is looking at a franchise concept. Germany has no ribs.

Tarlam,

I know you asked about chains, hence my response. but you asked about quality and other attributes, why one was better, etc....none of which he answered.

the only one who did this was Ty. And, no thank you from you whatsoever. You are welcome.

The point of my reply to him.....basically his post redone..was that he criticized others for not answering the question...when, it 1)had already been done and 2) he didn't get to the heart of he matter. Thus, his post was an epic fail.

Please reread your initial post.

Sincerely,
Ty

Big fan of Guy and the Triple D! He needs to keep developing that list, because last time I checked, there wasn't a whole lot around here.

Ty, a HUGE THANK YOU! And a huge thank you to all who responded. I really appreciate it.
