Babbling Farker
I see this style on those food road shows all the time. The guy behind the counter hears you want some ribs and he uses a freakin' cleaver to bang out some ribs. He slams the cleaver down like the ribs owes him money. Not even cheating and looking at the back. Plus he has all of his fingers!
Fast forward to me in the kitchen with a rack of spares ribs. I use the same 14" slicing knife with the Granton Edge for my brisket and I cheat. I mean CHEAT. I have the back of the ribs facing me and follow the edge of the bones to ensure the rib has the maximum amount of meat on the one side. Sometimes I leave meat on both sides of the rib but those are the chef's cut.
Wife says I'll never open my own joint with those chops...
