Kansas City’s barbecue sauce is tomato-based, thick, sweet and smoky. These Kansas City-style spareribs are a perfect example of that style of barbecue.
Book Review: America’s Best Ribs
If you were to list the top five legends of barbecue, Ardie Davis and Paul Kirk would surely be on that list. That’s why I couldn’t wait to get my hands on their new book, America’s Best Ribs. I’d like to believe that America’s best ribs are right here at TopRibs.com, but I’m sure Ardie and Paul can crank out one hell of a rib hoedown.
Review: Herr Foods Baby Back Rib Potato Chips

Sauce Review: Pig of the Month Love Me Tender
Now, you may not think of Dayton, Ohio as a barbecue hot spot, but Pig of the Month has plans to change that. Their Memphis-style Love Me Tender sauce states to be “The King of Memphis Sauce”.

I find it odd that most grillers spare no expense on most of their barbecue equipment, yet go cheap when it comes to their basting brush. How many times have you had to pick out a bristle off your meat because of a shedding brush?
