American Hero Cooks A Rack Of Ribs Using Nothing But Shit In His Hotel Bathroom

For as long as I've been talking about BBQ here on Barstool Sports [dot] com, I've always tried to make one thing abundantly clear--there's no one right or wrong way to cook barbecue. 

You don't need a specific type of smoker. You don't need any particular "secret" rubs or sauces. You don't have to cook it at an exact temperature for an exact amount of time. Whether you decide to take the membrane off your rack of ribs before cooking them is entirely up to you. 

While true barbecue is certainly done using actual wood and fire and smoke, you can still make plenty of delicious "bbq" meals anyway you want. Whether it's in a pellet smoker, a weber kettle, or using the blowdryer in your hotel bathroom. 

Is it "traditional barbecue"? Maybe not. But is it punk rock? You're goddamn right it is. 

It doesn't matter how you cook your ribs. Just as long as you get them tender and juicy enough that they melt in your mouth, but not overly cooked to the point where they're completely falling off the bone. You still want to be able to take a bite into each rib and have it hold up without all the meat falling onto your lap. Whether it's done in an offset smoker using wood and fire, or in a hotel pillow case, it doesn't matter. The cooking method is all just different means to getting the same result. And the results speak for themselves, brother. 

Hell yeah. Dudes rock. 

Granted, that hotel room might call for an extra round of maintenance once he checks out in the morning, but imagine walking into a hotel room that tastes like perfectly cooked babyracks? That's 5-star hospitality right there.
