Since this weekend is probably the last one before the weather gets nasty, I decided to make St. Louis ribs yesterday.
Bought the ribs at my local butcher like usual, and they turned out great, except for one thing. There was hardly any meat on them! The rib tips, however, were nice and had lots of meat.
Anyone run into this before where the ribs have hardly anything, but the tips have lots of meat?
Oh, the breakfast of champions? I had some leftover rib tips and beans along with a couple of eggs for breakfast. Yum!
Never had the rib problem. Love the breakfast idea though. Hey, breakfast for dinner, dinner for breakfast, whatever. Good food is good food anytime of day right? 👍ðŸ‘
andy.wpg the definition of "breakfast of champions" must vary by location. When I was living in Albuquerque NM a few years ago (a few miles southwest of you) the breakfast of champions was menudo. Having tried both I prefer yours.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Ribs in the store that are thin, oh well. IMO it’s ribs from a premium source, that you paid a lot for and came with a hefty shipping charge, that really freezer burn my hamburger meat. Nothing like a $20 slab of Kurobuta shiners.
If you bought them from a local butcher you should complain. Plus the fact that if you buy from a butcher they are not in shrink wrap, didn't you see them before you paid??

Unfortunately, this guy keeps the ribs in a styro tray with plastic wrap on it. Can’t really examine them.
I’ll just go to the other one from now on. It’s a lot further, but the ribs are in the open in the display case, then they wrap ‘em. Lesson learned. This guy is just really close to my house.
I’d try talking to him before you give up. Especially if he’s close. Tell him your experience and ask him if he’ll cut you some to show you before he packages them. All he can do is say no. Maybe it was a one time thing. Sometimes all it takes is a friendly conversation.
