ok, I know you know I like to cook ribs. i probably cook 2-5 racks a week. no joke. i like ribs and putting together different flavor profiles. i have tried different temps and time and everything when it comes to ribs. i use to cook 26 racks every saturday and sunday for delivery at 10 am for a business.
i made some money but not enough to be working 7 days a week. i have 4 signature ribs i cook. Sparky's Signature Ribs, Sparky's Sassy Ribs, Sparky's Wett Ribs and Sparky's Dry. don't ask how i make them because i'm not going to tell ya. i got my food handlers license, business license and did the whole shebang. did a little catering on the side too. it is not fun cooking for time. i would suck at comp cooking. i found out that making your passion into a job is not my cup of tea. i did this routine for over 4 months. so 52 sets of ribs per weekend for 4 months is around 832 and that is not counting the ones i cooked for myself. so i believe in the 4 years that i have gotten into this very heavy i probably have cooked over 2000 racks of ribs. rough guess more or less. i like have a cocktail or a FT when i bbq. bbq is suppose to be fun.
all the time. so i quit cooking for ppl. some old customers call for super bowl, new year and birthday ribs and i always cook for them if i'm not fishing.
ok, so i cook a lot of ribs. my family has eaten a lot of ribs. they are my most critical eaters. they know a good rib or too. ya know when the gods look down on ya. welp, this rib cook was like that. everything was perfect.
