Houston's Restaurant Ribs & Sauce Recipe

[c-dubya]

SMF'ers,

I'm brand new to the world of smoking and this forum is a mind-blowing resource thus far.  In light of all of authentic, backyard smoke masters on this board I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I still have a soft spot for ribs/sauce from a chain restaurant called Houston's and I'd like to emulate the recipe at home.  Yep, chain restaurant, "knife and fork", baby-back ribs...pretty shameful on the surface, but they are just damn good.  Anyone else familiar with ribs that might have some tips for me?

Thanks!

good food is good food, wherever it comes from.  but after you've learned and tried some of the ways of cooking/smoking spares and babybacks,here, I'm darn sure you're going to have some NEW favorites!! welcome - can't wait to hear about your 1st ribs!

I have been a big fan of Houstons for a long time. There's 3 in Atlanta.

Back in the early 90s the guy that owns Houstons was a huge customer of the HD dealer where I worked.

Great guy. We had several company dinners there. Quite a few birthday and such meals.  Wonderful food and service.

The ribs there are good.

Once you get rolling with your smoker yours will be better.
