Pig of the Month

Linda hasn't gone back to work yet and sometimes watches Good Morning America to stay in touch with the news. A few weeks ago, GMA featured Pig of the Month Club, which is a bbq business based out of Dayton, Ohio. As a part of the holiday promotion, GMA announced a 50% off sale. Those of you who know Linda probably already know that she's got a soft spot for bargain shopping. She ordered some baby back ribs and four kinds of barbecue sauce to give it a try.


From the website:
By recreating our favorite barbecues from different regions, we’ve decided to make our own perfectly smoked barbecue ribs and lip-smacking sauces—and share the goodness with you! Pig of the Month offers ribs just the way all barbecue lovers want them: perfectly seasoned, tender-on-the-inside but crispy-on-the-outside, smoky, and mouthwatering—just tear-off-the-bones good barbecue. Our smoking technique is one that was perfected over many decades. (We didn’t just stuff ourselves full with all the barbecue; we also did research.)
Customer's can use the Create a Package feature on the website to pick and choose between pulled pork, ribs, and bbq sauce for home delivery.

Our ribs arrived pre-cooked and packed in cryovac and dry ice. She also ordered 4 kinds of barbecue sauce as a sample pack. The ribs can be reheated and served straight from the package and topped with some sauce in a few minutes time.


We ate a rack for supper and I took one for lunch the next day.

What did you think of the ribs? I'm guessing you would have to qualify your answer since I don't think it would be fair to expect them to taste as good as yours fresh off the WSM.

Hi Chris,

I thought the ribs were actually a little above average. Of course I prefer the ribs I make, but for something fun to do the Pig of the Month ribs were better than most restaurants I eaten in.

For someone who wants to eat ribs a couple of times per year without accumulating the equipment needed to cook them at home, it's an option. I can't in good conscience call it a viable economic option for most people because the shipping costs put them on the outer edge of what most would consider money well spent.

Thanks for the honest review. I saw that Good Morning America plug as well, and I have been thinking about trying something like this, but I was afraid to try it since I thought there was no way they could be good. Now, I have to admit, I'm going to try them out.
