The episode also features a diverse range of barbecue-related topics, from cooking techniques to nostalgia and community celebrations.
Cooking Pork Short Ribs
Pork short ribs are described as the continuation of the baby back rib section extending into the shoulder. Typically three-bone sections, these ribs are marbled and contain a lot of meat and connective tissue. To cook them, the recommendation is to season them, smoke them for a couple of hours to get color, braise them until they are fork-tender (around 200 degrees internal temperature), and glaze them at the end for a flavorful finish. These ribs can be seasoned and cooked in various styles like Mexican or Italian, providing versatility in flavor profiles.
Mangalitsa Pork Experience
At the 840 farms, Mangalitsa pork is highlighted as exceptional and unique for its flavor and tenderness. Raised on a specific diet including Costco's discarded produce, these hogs take about 18 months to reach a marketable size of around 300 pounds. The pork is described as melting in the mouth, rich, buttery, and olive oil-like, resembling Wagyu beef in appearance and taste. The meat can be cooked medium rare, offering a pink hue post-cooking, making it a standout experience comparable to some of the best pork dishes ever tasted.
