Few nights ago there was a show that had a review of a bunch of KC BBQ joints. i dont remmeber any names, wasnt paying that much attention.
One joint looked interesting, dry rubbed the ribs by dipping them in sugar water and then dredging the racks in a bus box full of rub. The ribs come out heavly coated almost as if they were breaded.
First thought, damn thats ALOT of rub.
They cook over hickory and apple, never mop or spray.
Then when almost done they give them a mop with their sauce and then dredge them again:shock: in the rub and toss them on a hot grill for "less than 30 seconds".
Ok.. if i dredged a rack of ribs in ANY of the rubs i have, just once, they would be ruined. These guys do it TWICE! Then serve the ribs DRY. As in coated in DRY rub, slightly charred or crystalized from the final blast on the grill. I would think you'd be crunching on rub and tasting very little of the meat.
I would like to try it. Has anyone done it or seen it?? .. Need some ideas on a rub that is mild enough to do that with, without becomming overpowering. Looked good, and the patrons really raved about the place. (Arthur Bryants maybe?)
