Do you ever find yourself wondering why Bâton Rouge was named Montreal's best ribs in town, you probably have never tried our ribs in that case. If you are still apprehensive (and stubborn) let us tell you why our ribs are simply the best!
Now, we won't be divulging all our secrets however will give you a little insight as to how we prepare the best ribs in town.
Let’s start by discussing the different types of ribs. If you didn't already know there are a plethora of different types of ribs which makes it quite the culinary challenge to pick the right one for your recipe.
1. Pork Ribs
Pork spareribs are flavourful, meaty, and a bit more bone than their other counterparts.
This cut comes from the belly side near the rib cage.
These ribs have a generous amount of fat, which renders down beautifully when slow-cooked.
It produces a succulent and flavourful bite, ideal for smoking, braising, grilling, or stews.
2. Baby Back Ribs
Contrary to what their name might suggest, baby back ribs are simply shorter than spareribs.
After removing the loin, butchers cut the meat from where the rib meets the spine.
Curved and meatier than spareribs, these beauties boast a tender texture.
Baby back ribs gain an irresistible pull-apart tenderness that’s hard to beat. They are ideal for smoking or grilling.
3. St. Louis-Style Ribs
A variation of the spare rib, the St. Louis-Style Ribs are a barbecue pit masters pride and joy.
They remove the brisket bone, creating a rectangular, neat slab perfect for even cooking.
This rib type is popular in the Midwest and is a staple in many barbecue competitions.
St. Louis-style ribs are a go-to for those who love an even char and a straightforward eating experience.
4. Country-Style Ribs
Country-style ribs are not precisely ribs in the traditional sense.
These come from the blade end of the loin, close to the upper pork shoulder.
They are meatier- their meat-to-bone ratio is more like pork chops. Typically, they contain no rib bones but have parts of the shoulder blade.
Country-style ribs are perfect for those who like ribs but crave a meatier, boneless bite.
Their substantial meat content makes them great for braising, grilling, or slow cooking.
