Yup. About half the time the St Louis ribs come peeled, other times I
do it myself.

What do you guys do for sauce?

Sometimes I make my own, but lately I've been using this:

As it says, it's not really that hot, and it's not thick like BBQ sauce. It's just a glaze that really adds a nice flavor.

Oh, and do you know the trick for peeling the membrane? A paper towel! It lets you get a grip on it.

.... or one of those "jar opener" thin rubber pads. (also will peel
garlic). If you have a sharp paring knife you can get it going pretty
easy. I use a combination of pulling and cutting. It comes right off.

Amen. The Costco ribs come already peeled.

I've done 'St Louis' style ribs once. I don't like the way they're cut. Too much gristle and fat
left on the one end, and the other seems to have been trimmed for Chinese ribs. That's the way they
come around here anyway.

I've always liked Sauer's, but while visiting daughter in Savannah, I got talked into buying some
Johnny Harris. Haven't tried it yet, but folks down there rave about it. I've never seen it up here.

That sounds more like a full spare rib.
They start with cutting off the "back ribs", then you have the "spare
rib" and if you cut that lip of cartilage off the other end it is a St
Louis Rib. (all bone)

The stuff both Costco and our local Safeway sell as 'St Louis Ribs' have very short rib bones (about
2") and include the cartilage. I buy the loin back ribs.
