I have always vended spares and prices had gotten so high that I quit unless someone pre-ordered them. I recently got set up through a food supplier that is giving me a better price than I have ever had locally. I used to trim spare to a St Louis cut and sell the tips separate but I found that once you sold the slab your profit did not come until the tips were sold. So lately I have been cooking and selling the whole spares.
So I am wondering if Baby Backs sell better. I would need to be around $24 for a full rack of Baby Backs and $28 on Whole Spares and I can dang near cook 2 slabs of Baby Backs in the space of one rack of spares but I have never tried to sell Baby Backs. For me I would want the spares, way more meat and flavor for dang near the same price. What do you sell?
