BBQ Recipes: Barbecued Ribs Elegante

This recipe cracks me up. "Barbecued Ribs Elegante" as if ribs and barbeque aren't elegant enough on their own! And as if this recipe has anything to do with the fire of low and slow barbecue. It always cracks me up and makes me a little sad when someone dumps a sweet ketchup based sauce on something and calls the resulting culinary bastard "barbecue." I was originally thinking of converting this recipe to a true barbeque experience, but there's so many things wrong with it that I just gave up.
