Restaurant Owners & Caterers:
When you cook ribs, do you do them competition style or fall off the bone?
When I had my Q joint, they would be fall off the bone, but not to the point of being mushy or too overcooked. I figured my job was to sell as much good quality BBQ as I could to the masses, not "educate them" what real Q is. That's what BBQ based festivals and competitions are for. |

I cook for my customers differently than comps. Comps is candy on a bone. Catering I find it best to make them more savory.

Fall off the bone is not right for me.

I cook for my customers contest quality, If I wouldn't eat it I wont sell or feed it to them. Its my reputation on the line and future/ return business. Quality and love of the product will continue to bring them back and give me future referrels. I got a 125 person gig at $12 bucks a head because of a pulled pork sandwich I sold at a 4th of july festival. That person remembered the sandwich and ended up landing me an awesome gig.
It takes a little more time to cook this way, but anything worth doing is worth doing right, just my thoughts and how we do it!

Everything else I "try" to do competition style (although I've never been in a comp). I was just curious about the ribs. Pulled pork gets a really good bark do to the fact that my rub is about 50% dark brown sugar. Chicken gets brined in my own recipe. Sides are made completely from scratch.

When cooking at home I tone down the flavors a notch or two which, I feel, is better for eating a larger quantity. |

Comp style ribs have a little tug to them, but the meat must pull away from the bone.

I try to do all my ribs with a little tug on them. I hate fall off the bone ribs. I let the customer pick the sauce.

When I had my Q joint I would let them pick the sauce, too. I had a tomato based, a mustard based and a vinegar based. Nothing left the kitchen with sauce on it, except for the "Cowboy Cocktail". |
