BABY BACK RIBS (HALF RACK)

Smoked Baby Back Ribs – Memphis Style

The perfect balance of smoke, spice, and succulent tenderness.

We believe great ribs require patience and a commitment to layering flavor. Forget the tough, "quick-cooked" alternatives; our baby back ribs are a slow-cooked masterpiece designed for the true connoisseur of barbecue.

The Larouex Process: Layered Flavor

We treat these premium cuts with the respect they deserve through a meticulous, multi-step process:

The Brine: We begin with a patient dry-brining technique, utilizing coarse sea salt, cracked black pepper, and our savory house blend (featuring the classic depth of Lawry's). This ensures flavor penetrates deep beyond the surface.

The Rub: Before hitting the pits, each rack receives a generous dusting of our signature Memphis-style seasoning—an aromatic, complex balance of savory spices that develops a beautiful, caramelized bark.

The Smoke: They are slow-smoked over authentic hardwood until they reach absolute perfection. We aim for that elusive "perfect bite"—tender enough to pull cleanly away from the bone, but still possessing a satisfying, meaty texture, not mushy.

Planning Your Menu

A full rack of baby back ribs typically contains 12–13 bones. We recommend the following for planning your gathering:

As the Main Course: Plan on 1/3 to 1/2 a rack (approx. 4–6 bones) per person for a hearty, satisfying meal.

For a Tailgate Spread: If these are part of a larger buffet alongside other meats and sides, one rack will comfortably serve 4 to 6 people (approx. 2–3 bones each) as a grazing portion.

🔥 Larouex Pro-Tip: These ribs are delicious "dry" right out of the package, letting the Memphis rub shine. However, if you prefer a "wet" rib, brush them lightly with your favorite high-quality BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of reheating to create a sticky, irresistible glaze.
