We were fortunate enough to be invited to our friends for a Memorial Day's eve BBQ. Fortunate because they are wonderful hosts and wonderful cooks, but especially fortunate because Jeff is a native of Kansas City and holy smoker, Batman! Can the man cook some ribs. Two kinds of ribs (baby back and St. Louis), Jeff's signature rub, cooked low and slow with lotsa smoke. Gates BBQ Sauce on the side. They were at least the equal of the best ribs I've ever eaten, and that may not be giving them enough credit. Perfect heat in the crusty outside, moist and smoky pink inside.
Deviled eggs (did I really eat three halves?), delicious guacamole, blue cheese potato salad, two kinds of beans, Boston Baked (Jim's recipe), and Jeff's mom's KC recipe (prepared by his charming brother), green salad...then fresh strawberry pie...and strawberries with mint and balsamic vinegar over ice cream.
O.K., just describing this I feel stuffed all over again. But it was just so DAMN good. Kudos, man!
