St. Louis–style barbecue
Spare ribs dish / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Louis–style barbecue refers to spare ribs associated with the St. Louis area. These are usually grilled rather than slow-cooked over indirect heat with smoke which is typically associated with the term "barbecue" in the United States.[1] Often overshadowed by its more famous cousin, Kansas City–style barbecue, St. Louis–style barbecue struggles to distinguish itself from other city based styles of barbecue [citation needed]. Although St. Louis–style barbecue takes inspiration from other styles of barbecue it still retains its own distinct style.
