I'm a little disappointed in Journey's newest lead singer, Arnel Pineda. He just doesn't add up to Steve Perry in my opinion. But then again, I'm all for Steve Perry. I was wondering what he thinks of Arnel.
There are generally 2 different styles of ribs... St. Louis Spares (or Spare Ribs) and Loin Backs (or baby back ribs) In the MBN and Memphis in May competitions, you always use Loin-Back ribs - because it is simply what the judges expect. But in the Kansas City BBQ circuit, you always use St. Louis Spares.
They are large in size (2-4 pounds or more), are very meaty, and are somewhat less tender than loin back ribs. Spareribs tend to have more fat, more flavor, and cost less per pound than loin back ribs. Loin back ribs come from the loin of the hog, where pork chops come from.You'll sometimes see them called baby back ribs or loin ribs in the grocery store. They are small in size (1-1/4 to 2-1/4 pounds or more) and are less meaty, less fatty, and more tender than spareribs.n average, you will get 2-4 servings per slab of spareribs and 1-2 servings per slab of loin back ribs. A lot depends on whether you're serving another barbecue meat along with the ribs, how many side dishes you're offering, how hungry your guests are, and how you present the ribs to your guests.
