Beef Chuck or Plate Ribs?

[Rob whatever]

I went with the plate ribs. Some pics out of the package and one about after applying the rub.

Wow!! That is one fine lookin slab you got there! Looking forward to seeing your results!

I like them both but haven't seen any in my area in months. I can't justify the cost of mail ordering them.

They look great! How were they?

[Rob whatever]

Sadly, not as good as they looked. Was a little too much fat for my taste, which says a lot.

I usually stick with chuck ribs. I order them from Creekstone farms.

I've heard so much about the ribs from Louie Mueller in TX that I was thinking of traveling there. Then I found them on Goldbelly for a small fortune ($189), but cheaper than the airfare.

I ordered them and was very disappointed. Almost 50% fat and chewy. I've gone back to the ribs that are part of a prime rib roast with less meat, but delicious.

That was one of my takeaways as well. But I may try the chuck version but not in the near future.
