If you're feeling extra hungry, try the full rack of dry ribs with no sauce or sides, which is a meal in itself.

Chef Al and his team behind the counter have a blackened smoker device that's about 12 feet long, which they feed with logs to keep it smoldering all night and smaller chunks of hardwoods during the day to smoke. The result is excellent quality meat that's very tender, and the ribs are cut for you into individual pieces to make it easier to eat.
