I remember this one time I was in STL visiting the Arch and what not, came upon a bridge crossing the river into E STL. I can't imagine that the view over the Styx into Hades could be any more foreboding.

Richmond, Vallejo, same story.
Not so much a St Louis thing, but a projects thing.

Good ole East St. Louis, the Mogadishu on the Mississippi. It's a shithole's shithole. It should be burned to the ground along with everyone in it.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
The only good thing about St Louis cuisine are St Louis style ribs. That's not even how they are cooked or served. Just how they are cut.

St Louis ribs are spare ribs trimmed to have a rectangular appearance. Did I not say "how they are cut"?KC Scott wrote:Culinary fail
They're called "spare ribs"

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Need to pay a bit more attention to the meat case down at the Hy Vee, pally... St. Louis ribs are a bargain value-wise compared to baby backs. 'Sayin.
Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
I'll usually cut them St Louis style and throw the tips in the crock-pot for pulled pork sandwiches.
Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Or pork broth. Chine bones suck on a slab of babecued ribs. Might as well leave the faschia/membrane on the back if you're gonna fix 'em that way...R-Jack wrote:I'll usually cut them St Louis style and throw the tips in the crock-pot for pulled pork sandwiches.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Here's a legit question Truman, does the St. Louis style cut resemble the Memphis cut? I ask that because I've copied the Neely's wet rib style from Memphis (since I ate there) and you cut the tips off to eat whenever. During prep you pull that silver membrane off so the rub gets permeated into the meat. I just cooked the tips on the side.
If using a crock pot, why not just use pork "butt" (shoulder) for sammiches? Cheap meat for a lot of tasty food.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Not familiar with a Memphis cut - but yes, cutting the chine bone (tips) is the preferable way to prep a slab of spare ribs.
And yes, by all means, remove the fascia from the back of the slab. Damn ribs are practically inedible (tough) with it remaining in place.
*Hint* After removing the membrane and applying your dry rub, take a meat fork and poke several holes between each rib on both sides of the slab. Then wrap it in foil and refrigerate over night. This helps the rub tenderize the meat even more.
Don't know about the crockpot - have never subjected barbecue-worthy pork to such a mehtod. You're a Cali, right, AP? Nice weather and stuff? Put an 8 lb. butt on your smoker before going to work. It'll be perfect by the time you get home. Save the crockpot for cheese dip.

I don't care if it is 'cue, best stay away from any talk of hot links and/or meat so tender it simply pulls from the bone.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
I was taught to take a paper towel to get a grip on the membrane to pull it off. Sometimes I have to use a few. I'm not sure if the Memphis style is all the Neely's since they have 2 restaurants there, one being wet and the other dry. On the Food TV site Pat puts the recipes he divulges to the public for the rub and the tomato-based sauce. It comes out very close to what I had in his place.Truman wrote:Not familiar with a Memphis cut - but yes, cutting the chine bone (tips) is the preferable way to prep a slab of spare ribs.

Smokers are preferable for about everything, but if you want an easy way to prep a pork butt you can cheat by using a crock pot, throw some liquid smoke in there and have something ready after 8 to 10 hours if you can't be around to watch a fire.
The Neely's sauce is pretty good. It takes me 2 hours to make. The thing is there are no preservatives so you can't leave the jars of sauce or rub around too long.
I didn't know about poking holes between the rib bones. Makes sense as it's a tough meat.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Crockpots? Liquid smoke? Maybe in California. You'd get tossed outta this town in a hurry for less outrage.
Try the meat fork on your ribs. You'll thank me later.
*Edit: And in 30 years of smoking ribs, I've never used a paper towel to peel a membrane. Use your fingers, Nancy, and rip that sucker off.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Drove through STL on our cross country RV trip. Did the touristy stuff near the arch/riverfront. It was OK. Then we drove over the river.
Yikes.
Sort of dresden like I guess, other than you can tell that dresden had once been something, before the allies did a little urban renewal. E STL looks more like it always has been a shithole.
As for barbeque heresy, I too use the crockpot.
Does it work as well as a smoker?
No. But, it takes about 2 minutes worth of my time. And it does come out reasonably well.
Good thing I don't live in the godforesaken flyover where apparently, such activity is a felony.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
If you are worried about the smell, put it out on the deck, next to the smoker. Please tell me you don't run your smoker in the kitchen.Toddowen wrote:There is one thing that I hate about cooking pork in a crock- the odor. Unless you have good ventilation, your house is going to smell something like a whaling ship must have smellled like while rendering blubber into oil.
Smokers on the other hand produce a smell that I liken to insence.
And, yeah, crockpottin' ain't 'que, but, it's still pretty damn good.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
Dude, it's Toddy -- I highly suggest he runs his smoker in the house... with a BIG fire.
And call me crazy, but when I make pulled pork (which might just happen this weekend), it's with a leftover roast from the smoker (might pull some out early and leave it rare) -- then it goes in the crok pot on low for a day or two, until it falls apart.
Yup, helping out with a yard sale today -- I think I'll have to fire off the smoker and annoy/make hungry the illegals who come to steal the merchandise... since it's in the hood. Nothing like having a yard sale in the hood, although this hood ain't the nasty hood it used to be.

Re: Stay Classy, St. Louis......
"Playing with fire" sounds like a fine idea, Todd. I don't suppose we could coax a PET out of you, could we?
You might want to prep them again, Scott. Not to be overly hyper-critical, but if you rubbed those ribs before you wrapped them, then I missed it.

Only way to go. I get a kick out of folks that use a store-bought rub. Must have a jones for MSG. 'Course, these are the same folks that swear by instant-light charcoal as well...KC Scott wrote:I make my own dry rub BTW

I will rack Todd on his purchase. That boat looks perfect for the simple man that likes to fish, but doesn't take it too seriously, and just wants to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon on the water, listening to the ballgame and slamming some brews. Good times.
