Harry, whats the difference between a rack of ribs and a slab of ribs?
I am not sure myself, but I think it is just a matter of terminology. I have always referred to the whole rib section of one side as a ‘slab’. I think ‘rack’ is a term that the restaurant industry came up with to refer to the trimmed slabs that they usually use. Therefore, a rack is something less than a slab and how much less depends on how well trimmed it is. It seems as the two terms are somewhat ambiguous and mean different things to different folks. I am not sure if there is any set-in-stone definition.
