Imperial Main Street

Imperial has a lot of great places along Main Street. Whatever happened to that Turtle place?

Personally, I like to buy all of my meat from Herrell's. He has GREAT meat. Better than any supermarket. Some restaurants get from him, too, from what I understand.

When I was doing meat shoots a lot more often than I have time for now at the VFW Hall off Miller, all the meat came from Herrells. Needless to say, the ribs I won that came from Herrells were spectacular.

How do you cook your ribs? I have never had much luck with cooking ribs on the grill.

The secret is to boil them first and then grill them. Actually, the best set of ribs I won from Herrell's I boiled first and then let them simmer in BBQ sauce in the oven because it was freezing cold outside and I was not going to stand out and grill.

How long do you boil them? Until they are done or half-way done? And what sauce do you use?

I can never get mine tender to where they fall off the bone. They always end up tough.

Until they are white, I never really have timed them, just do it by sight. It is not long though, better to error on not long enough than to go too long. Maybe 3-4 min? You can do the same with pork steaks too (learned about boiling it randomly from a guy standing in line at Sam's Club one day and it works great). As for the BBQ sauce, I use Sweet Baby Rays (just preference) mixed with a bit of water, then let them simmer in the oven.

I prefer heating the grill HOT first, putting the ribs (or any other meat for that matter), on one side, then turning off the heat on that side (gas grill), or moving them away from the heat and cooking indirectly. I like to use hickory chips or some other wood chips, soaked well, and keeping a little moisture in the grill. Takes longer this way, but the meat stays tender. Oh, and NO salt before cooking. Dries the meat..
We switch up sauces, but currently the Jack Daniels sauces are good. Oh, and garlic powder instead of salt Yum.

Matt, I will definitely try that.

Nick, that is the way my dad BBQ's.

Sherry, the white vinegar is a good idea. It breaks down the meat so they are more tender. It is something I learned in chemistry. How much vinegar do you put in per part of water?

Do any of you guys/gal separate anything off of the ribs before cooking/boiling them?

Do they actually let you out in public without supervision ?

Sherry,

I have not done anything to you. You need to get over whatever your problems are with me and get on with your life. I asked a simple question and that was it. How much vinegar per part of water do you boil your ribs in? Here I am trying to be cordial and nice and you just can't stand that and have to go out of your way to try to get me to be rude. It's not going to happen. You can either be nice with me or continue to bash me and I won't respond. It's that simple. Every time you have come on here I have tried to be nice to you and you just come on here to bash me. Why try to provoke something? I guess that I would have to ask you the same question you just asked me with the way you are acting on here.

Like I said, we can either be nice to each other, or you can continue to bash me and I'll not respond to your bashing. Your choice.

Sherry I am so glad your back now she can quit thinking I am you. God she drives me nuts, you ask about favorite places for eating, and she is asking how you cook ribs, then you get a whole page of grilling. She takes it off track every stinking time. Deliberately I suspect and then there is the notorious (it wasn't me)

Holtie's isn't bad. Some days better than others, I think it depends on the cook. lol They do have a good breakfast.

The Hacienda on Manchester for Cinco de Mayo !

Im pretty sure that if you check at your local library or in the Leader You could find a good anger management group to join , do you even realize that as people are reading these posts , they are thinking what a moron, actually what I pictured was the Wizard of Oz and you as the cowardly lion saying, "put em up ,put em up,cmon,Ill fight you with one arm tied behind my back ,put em up , wow, see how ridiculous picking on people looks ,come out of the 8th grade and graduate to adulthood

CC I think we came to a prior agreement to stay away from each other. As far as I am concerned it still stands. I do not have the time or patience for your ignorance, and it will again become very unpleastant for everyone. Fair warning take heed.
p.s. While reading yesterday I noticed at least 3 places you were bashing me during your crazy little fits and I wasn't even around, now you want me to be nice to you ? Your screw is not only loose honey my guess is it fell out.

Anyone been to Case 'N Bucks lately? They separated their bar from the rest of the restaurant and it isn't smoky anymore. The food when we went was great and the price was reasonable for the generous portions we got. However, the restaurant wasn't full like I was used to seeing it. Anyone have a clue as to why?

I like Chevy's on Tesson Ferry that is where I am going today. Margaritaville here I come. lol

arnold cc has always been kind to me

Bruce Lee, You have only been on here once, so where is she being kind to you at ? LOL

You derailed your own thread this time. Please see Post #4.

It's fine for her to do it, but she bashes me if I ever do it. It's called a DOUBLE STANDARD! You should be on City Council.:)

Allen...I am your father... tee hee
