My goal for each competition is to come up with something unique. And
so, here is the exact lamb rib recipe I used to win Best Lamb Ribs and
overall Grand Championship at the Meatopia Bare Bones BBQ Contest at the
Eat Real Festival in Oakland, California, in 2012. The seasoning paste
and sauce do nothing to mask the great flavor of lamb; they only help to
enhance and celebrate this bold meat. Im giving you gold with this one!
