Bill Joe's Ribworks ~ Waterfront BBQ in Newburgh

We had dinner at Billy Joe's Ribworks on the Newburgh waterfront.  It's more "family restaurant" than "BBQ Joint", but barbecue fans will not be disappointed.  The full post can be found here

 I love a good town barbecue, a culinary tradition as uniquely American as apple pie and jazz. It is a distinctly “rural” event, celebrated at firehouses and town centers across the country with racks of grilled chicken and hamburgers and hot dogs and corn on the cob. Beer and soda are the beverages of choice. A glass of wine or a cocktail may make a rare showing but a frosty bottle of something just seems to go better with barbecue sauce.

St Louis BBQ Ribs - It's not what you think!

Waiting to order at Pappy's Smokehouse

If you are expecting to find a recipe for St. Louis Ribs, or St.Louis BBQ sauce, you won't find that here. For the record, "St. Louis" ribs usually refers to the butcher's cut of the rib - the way that the a standard pork spare rib (not baby back) is trimmed of the breast plate and squared off to yield a St. Louis cut.  In St Louis the standard rib service is Memphis style - with no sauce on the ribs, just a squeeze bottle of sauce, typically a sweet tomato based sauce, on the side.  This is an article about eating BBQ ribs.  In St. Louis.  So I called it St. Louis BBQ Ribs.
