I can't believe I am asking this as I would never have given thought to any brands until becoming a BBQ snob, er I mean educated by this great site. Always thought meat was meat.
Are there differences between say IBP pork, Swift, etc.
I just used some IBP BB from my new Restaurant Depot membership. The Restaurant Depot experience is a whole nother topic. I was like an addict in a crack house.
Anyway, these were some of the best ribs I have had in a long time. Not sure if it was the because of the brand, or the fact that I havn't done BB since last year. Ever since I found St Louis trimmed at Costco, I have been doing them.
These BB were wider, and the bones seems to be rounder and normal looking as oppose to wide flat bones I remember on the swifts. No funky smell when opening the cryovac either. Also seemed like the entire rack was more uniform without as much of the big hunk of bones towards the end of the rack. The meat was also much better than I remember too.
Just wonderering if anyone else notices differences between brands?
