Hello, Everyone:
I've been shooting my mouth off to my friends/neighbors about my grilling/barbecuing prowess, basic though it may be; so, I had to follow through with something more than just talk. So, I'll be hosting a "ribfest" later this month. I'll be going to BJ's, or if my neighbor/friend comes through, to the PX at the base to purchase the meat. I already have my recipe depending on whether it's baby backs or pork spares.
For a party of 12-15 people, how much meat? We'll provide slaw and the brewskies, and I'm asking guests to bring sides, specifically, grits and corn bread, and whatever else the guests decide to bring. Would making ABT's in addition to the ribs be overkill?
For The Boss and me we get by with one rack, be it pork spares or baby backs, and we usually have leftovers. We tried ABT's once, using bell peppers because I wimped out on using the jalapenos, and we barely had room for the main course. The ABT's were very filling.
As always, thanks for your input.
