Description

There's no grizzled old papa at Big Papa's standing watch over a hickory fire in the parking lot, but rather one giant Southern Pride smoker in the back.

Pigging out on baby back pork ribs

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, November 06, 2008

I didn't order the ribs at the Berkshire for one simple reason: Ribs should be saved for a place that specializes in them. Baby back pork ribs, in particular -- which is where Big Papa's BBQ comes in. When you get your baby backs here, you pull o... More »

I sometimes regret that I was born a Yankee. Truly, I think a part of me (some piece of my insides mysteriously wedged between gut and gullet) was misplaced at conception -- put into a Rust Belt boy, but meant for a creature acclimated to gentler ... More »
