Just like many other people, I have...Hello, there,<br /><br />Just like many other people, I have been counting the days to the Ribfest 2010 here in Ottawa. Yesterday, I had a pulled pork sandwich and half a rack or ribs from the first stand: "Silver" or something like that. It was very good!<br /><br />Today though, I tried another stand and it was baaad. Last year, "Camp31" was absolutely delicious, so much that we bought a couple big bottles of their sauce! But this year...? Yak...<br /><br />I have just returned from that place with a box of ribs and this is my very personal review:<br /><br />Camp31 Ribs = DIS-GUS-TING<br /><br />What I asked: Half a rack of ribs<br /><br />What I got: A smaller version of the half rack if one compares it vs. the Silver ones (first truck coming from Zellers), plus a cup of oil poured all over the ribs<br /><br />Texture: Hard, as if the meat had been cooking there for days, not hours. My jaws got tired at times, go figure!<br /><br />Colour: Beige on the outside (later, when one bites it, one realises it is one thick layer of fat), and pink in the inside, so they were not throughly cooked<br /><br />Sauce: What sauce? Mine didn't have any sauce on them, but LOTS of oil. Tasty oil, mind you, but when I think of ribs, I think of the sauce and the rub, but there was none in these ones. Most fingers get red and saucy after eating ribs. Mine were dripping oil, and I am not exaggerating!! :O<br /><br />If I have ribs tomorrow again, I think I will better go for the sure thing and will go back to the Silver ones or might adventure to the third stand close to Bank St.<br /><br />I can only imagine what Gordon Ramsey would've done to people working in Camp31 right now!! Sorry if I sound bitter... I just wish someone had warned me about Camp31's awful food this year!! Buuuaaahhh!! ;'''((<br /><br />Oh, well!! You've been warned!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
