rick zywotko's great barbecue sauce and world-fam
The full title for this recipe is Rick Zywotko's Great Barbecue Sauce and World-Famous Ribs. In April of 1985, Rick Zywotko entered these ribs in a barbecue contest in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and he won with this recipe. Most of the cooking time is inside, just a bit on the outside grill. Although not mentioned in the original recipe, I always pull that tough membrane off the back of my ribs before cooking them. But that is optional.
