For Kevin - St. Louis vs. Baby Back style ribs

[georgemoe]

Kevin,

You mentioned a few times "I have no idea" when it came to St. Louis style ribs on todays podcast. Here is a photo diagram below. Basically baby back (or loin back) and country style ribs come from the loin (choicer) cut of the rib. St. Louis style come from the side or lower part of the rib. The same area you get bacon from.

If I might digress, pulled pork comes from the top of the shoulder. If you were to buy it in the store you would ask for Boston butt. The lower part of the shoulder is the picnic and where you get what you traditionally cook in a New England boiled dinna.

I'm done talking like a pig now.

Well now you've gone and given away the information for my Podcast Cruise slide show entitled "The Origin of St. Louis Ribs and Chicken and Waffles".

Now, what are we going to do for four days?

As a St Louis girl I was shocked to hear the podcast crew was not aware of the major Mayan population we have here. Of course the Mayans are where we get our yummy ribs from.
