Mighty Fine Ribs at the Big Apple BBQ Block Party

It's Sunday AM and Chris and I are getting ready to head back over to the The Big Apple BBQ Block Party but before we go, we felt it was our duty to report on some of our sampling from yesterday.

If you can make it to Madison Square Park today, even if it's only for an hour, do not miss Jake's Boss BBQ.
When it comes to ribs, I usually like mine smothered in red sauce because that's what I think of when I think of BBQ. When we got our order of Jake's Boss, I was a little sad to see that my ribs were naked but after the first bite, I couldn't have been happier. These ribs were so tender, juicy and had a really distinctive flavor. It was one of those experiences that if I tried to tell you about the fennel or the cumin or what I thought was in the spice mix, it wouldn't do the ribs justice. Run over to Madison and about 26th street with your $8 in hand and get an order of these ribs and see what I'm talking about.

Lastly, if you're looking for a great barbecue book to inspire you this summer check out Mike Mills' great new book:

Peace, Love, & Barbecue: Recipes, Secrets, Tall Tales, and Outright Lies from the Legends of Barbecue

In addition to great stories told by Mills and his daughter Amy Mills Tunnicliffe,  the book has recipes from many of the BBQ masters that are cooking at The Big Apple BBQ (Ed Mitchell, The Salt Lick, Southside, Ubon's, Big Bob Gibson...).
