Recipe: Smoked Ribs

I came across this recipe on the Internet today. It is one of Bobby Flay's rib recipes, and I find it intriguing because it received solid ratings from readers. I was unaware that Bobby Flay knew anything about barbecue outside of hamburgers and hot dogs until I saw him on TV participating in a rib cooking competition in Richmond, VA. He lost the challenge, but I was impressed with his ability to think outside of the box to make Asian style ribs.

I have attached a link to the recipe below the picture of him. Also included in the link are the ratings left by readers and videos of him preparing ribs and other food. The recipe includes a dry rub for the ribs, a mop sauce to baste the ribs while they are smoking, and barbecue sauce to use for basting in conjunction with the mop sauce towards the end of the smoking period. Please note that prep time is 19 hours. He recommends letting the ribs marinate in the dry rub for upwards of 13 hours and then use the other 6 hours for smoking. Lastly, I have attached a youtube video with Bobby Flay describing one of the best things he has eaten. It just so happens to be (drum roll)...beef ribs at Salt Lick Barbecue in Texas!

Bobby Flay is certainly not a barbecue genius. I do though respect his culinary skills and trust that anything he promotes online or on TV is solid.
