About Baby Back Ribs

A successful business leader and a longtime resident of Des Moines, Bruce Gerleman founded Jethro’s BBQ and was accoladed by the Iowa Restaurant Association as a named 2012 restaurateur of the year. Bruce Gerleman’s restaurant also specializes in smoked meats, which includes wings and baby back ribs.

As vertebrates, pigs have ribs and spines which require special cutting skills in culinary art. When cut appropriately, pork ribs can be grilled/barbecued/smoked and sauced to make a satisfactory dish. Pork ribs, when divided horizontally, can be split into 2 cut types; spare ribs and baby back ribs.

Baby back ribs originate from the parts where the ribs connect to the backbone, directly beneath the loin muscle. These ribs are called baby ribs because they are shorter compared to spare ribs. Depending on how the ribs are butchered, loin meat may be attached. Of the 2 types of pork ribs, baby back ribs are more tender. This satisfactory feature may make them more expensive.
