Definitely the south.

I've heard several stories about Chicago BBQ Ribs.

Story has it they originated from Kansas City and adopted in Chicago. Is that true? I sure for know they didnt originate from those shitty fall of the bone st.louis ribs. fucking disgusting how people can call that ribs.

Personally love a good old chicago baby back cooked right and has that bit of toughness when biting off the bone.

yes but where?

Wherever the Spanish explorers landed and colonized. they combined some of the sauces and seasonings from the Caribbean Islands that they stopped at.

St. Louis ribs are better than Baby Back (although I enjoy both). They don't "fall off the bone" any more than baby backs...that's just a function of how they were cooked.

Imho there is nothing more disgusting than a fall off the bone rib. And that was how my parents made/make them.

Always figured fall off the bone to be overcooked or something. Texture is all wrong to me. I’m not much a fan of St. Louis rib but all these things are a matter of taste.

I just figured that they were for the people with bad/missing teeth.

And I haven't had a baby back rib in 30 years. Again, texture and flavor.

Great ribs are life changing. Very good ribs are better then getting the chicken. Other ribs are just not worth the effort, get something else on the menu.

The best ribs I have had:
1. 12 Bones in Asheville NC
2. Joe's Kansas City. Not always, but I caught a perfect batch.
3. Jack Stack's Crown Ribs in KC. Essentially BBQ made with bone in prime rib. You buy them by the bone.

Now, in part because of the aquarium smokers, that's not true for Chicago rib tips. Even just above average rib tips are a good value.

Smoked prime rib is fantastic. We do that 3 or 4 times per year. As long as you have a remote thermometer it’s an easy meat To wrk with as well.

More and more I prefer chicken, pulled pork or brisket (if they have a good brisket) when I go places. Too many ribs I haven’t liked or that are just to damn sloppy. Even at go,e I’m more likely to do a shoulder or a belly these days although smoking a chicken right now.

Classic movie Rib Scene of all time

Used to love cooking it over soaked hickory but a higher temp than a slow smoke, more a Smokey indirect grill. Loved it.. wife, not so much so I rarely do it.

i always have a soft place in my heart for Carsons back in the 80s. too bad they're gone now.

i'd never had "chicago" style ribs before.

famous daves sauce was on sale at menards so i bought some of the "southside" sauce assuming it had something to do with chicago. a much spicier kc sauce. so i imagine it has KC roots.

we have a place in the QC called jims ribs who has a similar styling. his sauce though is the best kc bbq sauce i've ever had and i've been to gates, aurthur b's, and joes. my only issue is the qc place takes an opposite approach to fall off the bone to the far end. like gnawing on shoe leather. the sauce just happens to make the difference.
