A Standard For All Seasons?

Have you ever patronized a restaurant that doesn't have salt and pepper on the table? The assumption is that the food is already properly seasoned...

Barbequed Ribs

This recipe made my dinner not only delicious but also so simple. I switched sugar for brown sugar on the rub (which is what makes this dish so wonderful). I skipped making the sauce for a bottled version to save time. I never cooked a rack before because I thought it was so difficult to cook. My deli just lost a customer buying racks of ribs; Now, I can do it on my own.
