Baby Back Ribs Are Like Diamonds

What makes for the best Baby Back Ribs? Sure there are tons of recipes out there. At Baumann’s we’ll even smoke ‘em for you. They are delicious. But if you want to cook, here at Baumann’s we believe you should pay attention to your butcher. Here are 3 important baby back rib Delicious Factors:

  1. Quality meat to start. We’ve been in the meat business for decades, and don’t accept anything but the best baby back ribs, lean, 2lbs and under, fresh. Suppliers know our butchers make these decisions, not bean counters and they bring us they best or they may as well turn the truck around.

  2. Trimmed close for even cooking. Lots of groceries and discount clubs don’t trim their ribs so you have large hunks of fatty meat left on the rack. Why do you think they are so cheap? That’s cheap meat!! And it keeps your ribs from cooking up evenly and tender. Check out how we trim them at Baumann’s... Perfect every time.

  3. The membrane must be removed. You want to eliminate that tough, difficult chew on the bottom of the rib? Well sir, that membrane must be removed on the bottom side of the slab. At Baumann’s every slab of baby backs has that membrane completely removed. Not so at the discount clubs.

Having someone who is personally interested in you and the quality of the food you purchase is paramount. Do you get that at a big box or discount club? We care, we need you to come back!

Quality, cut and size… You see, Baby Back Ribs Are Like Diamonds! Enjoy your Labor Day weekend by paying attention to your butcher ?. Call Baumann's Fine Meats today or tomorrow to order your ribs and pick them up this weekend. We’re open 9am to 1pm this Labor Day Monday.

Raving Reviews

  • "I returned to St Louis in September 2014 and was happy to find Baumann's again. Have gone in two or three times a month since returning. I have gotten spare ribs, baby back ribs, pork butt, bacon, andouille sausage, steaks, brisket, ground beef, beef jerky, smoked chicken wings by the pound, Bison burgers, and most recently a prime rib. All Excellent! The beef and pork/poultry rubs are a great standard by which you can judge your own efforts. Baumann's sauces are an excellent choice when your dish calls for wet, but the dry rubs are excellent. Elk, venison, and other game meats are available. A full range of wood for grilling and smoking provide you all the options you'll ever need. Top notch! Charlie is the best!"
