Raising the Bar on Ribs

Russ has been hankering to grill ribs, so this morning he ran to the grocery store to get his supplies to start grilling. As you may remember Russ did win the Rib Cook Off earlier this summer; however, despite having the winning ribs he knew he could improve upon them. He has been searching for recipes recently and found a new rub, basting sauce and barbecue sauce to try.

When Russ got home from the store he started preparing the meat and I started on the rub. Several hours later Russ pulled them off and came in to tell me that he had sampled one and they were awesome! Allen came over and we all enjoyed ribs, corn on the cob, slaw, and deviled eggs. Mary Margaret and Jason stopped by later and sampled some of the ribs too. Everyone agreed that these were definitely Russ’ best ribs yet! I won’t be posting the recipes, details on the preparations or grilling techniques used since Russ may be using them in next year’s Rib Cook Off! Let’s just say, look out Scott and Seth as the bar has been raised….
