Ribs: Who gets Em All From The Same Slab? And Who Mixes And Matches?

[Fatback Joe]

what do you guys do about the bones that start curving instead of going straight? I guess you just slice all the way through and then lay them in the box just as you sliced them so they look like one slab (being sure that they are sliced through all the way).

I try to really look at the slab pretty close pre-cook and don't bother taking curvy bones to the contest.

The times we have turned in a Hollywood cut rib box, there was always one or two judges that would write down on the comment cards "uneven cuts", and it affected the Appearance scores.
But the goal is always to get the slab in the box.
