Actually, it’s not in Chicago, it’s in Deerfield – and I didn’t even have to leave the house to get that great taste!
Because Jeff did it, and did it up proud. Here’s what he said about the menu:
Basically, everything was a mix of sweet, savory and heat.
Baby-back ribs marinated for 20 hrs. in a dry rub of about 13 spices including paprika, dry mustard, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, sea salt, brown sugar and others. Ribs were smoked with a mix of Hickory (for its heavy, sweet flavor) and Mesquite (for its tangy, biting flavor) at 250-300 degrees for about five hours. Served with apricot chipotle sauce on the side.
Fire-roasted corn with butter, cilantro, dash of fresh lime juice, chipotle chile powder.
Baked beans with red and green bell peppers, onion, dry mustard, brown sugar and chile powder.
He wasn’t talking about the Secret Sauce at the left edge of the photo, but I’m fine with that :-)
those look amazing!
They were, Lara – and gone far too quickly :-)
You tease us with hints of a recipe – no amts but they sure do look good. Liked the sides as well. All your compliments should buy you another meal, another day.
And I wonder why I can’t lose weight. :P
I’m just grateful that I get to taste the stuff, Marlyn, I’m not going to blow it by trying for the recipes :-)
I’m having a case of grilling envy…
We would like 2 orders “take away”. Does Fedex “do ribs”? By postal service it would be stolen. Cheers from Victoria.
Just got back from Radium and thought it’d be great to have those ribs delivered. They look delicious. Lor & I had a great time . Seems as if you are as well. Take care & love to all.
High praise coming from you, Joe! Marilyn and Lucile…if you’re ever down this way, I’d be happy to do another batch. :)
