Seasoned and seared, the ribs are then slowly braised for six to eight hours. Served on a bed of grits with vegetables, the dish is extremely flavorful and satisfying.
Boyce believes they’re the best thing on the menu. The Alabama Tourism Department agrees and has put the dish on its list of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama.
