The Rib That Built UCBBQ

The Rib That Built UCBBQ

Dinosaur-style pork spare ribs with rib tips, slow-smoked over applewood, hickory, and mesquite — finished with our blueberry BBQ sauce.

It started as a promise: if we’re going to sit together on Sundays, the food should slow us down long enough to talk. These ribs did it. Thick bones, shiny glaze, and smoke you can taste before the first bite.

What makes them different

• Dinosaur-style spare ribs (tips on) for that primal, satisfying cut.
• 24-hour marinade with ginger ale, apple juice, a touch of soy (soy present — allergy note), and our Righteous Rib Rub.
• Low & slow at 265°F for 3.5–4 hours over applewood, hickory, and mesquite.
• Blueberry BBQ finish — fruity, smoky, lightly tangy, the signature UCBBQ shine.

Allergy & ingredient notes

Pork spare ribs. Contains soy. No nuts. Cooked on equipment that handles common seasonings and sugars.

How we serve it

Glaze hot from the pit. Rest 10 minutes. Slice between bones and let the juice do the talking.

“The fire makes the food; the table makes the family.”

When you see that deep mahogany crust and a ribbon of glaze catching the light — that’s the moment Sunday starts.
