The Tale of BBQ Ribs
Story updated
Barbecued ribs descend from African, Caribbean, and Native American slow-cooking techniques that converged in the American South, where pork became the dominant barbecue meat. Regional rib styles developed distinct rubs and sauces, and the slow cooker offers a low-effort, indoor approximation of pit-style tenderness.
