On the topic of babyback ribs, - you need to be careful - many places will indicate on their menus that the ribs that you are ordering are babyback, and in fact they are not, - for anyone but an expert ( like a butcher ) it's pretty darn hard to tell exactly if they are indeed baby back or a flank rib that looks VERY much like a babyback. With all the preparation they do you just can't tell in the majority of cases.
Anyway I would assume the better known and larger BBQ places are selling true babyback ribs,
but with smaller places trying to save a few dollars, you never know.
