Baby Back Pork Ribs



“Since the opening of Bankers Hill Bar + Restaurant, our ribs have been a major hit with diners,” says Carl Schroeder, executive chef and co-proprietor. “They’re the perfect summer grilling food and will make a great addition to any barbecue or picnic. I like to serve them with fresh summer veggies like corn and green beans or a light pasta salad.”
