01/25/2002 Archived Entry: "Super Bowl Sugestions"

If you heard the “Weekend” show I host with Joan Hamburg two weekends ago, you no doubt heard us rave about the many mail order ribs we tasted. In honor of the upcoming Super Bowl, I’d love to share with you one of the better companies.

A restaurant from Charleston, South Carolina (yes, a big barbecue town) named Sticky Fingers is offering a selection of their ribs, pulled pork, and assorted sauces and rubs for mail order purchase. Although it’s all delicious, my personal favorite is the pulled pork, which Sticky Fingers offers as a “10 pound Pulled Pork Feast” for $129 including 4 bottles of assorted sauces. That’s really enough pork to feed 20 people, which makes the price a little over $6 a person.

I recommend serving the warmed pork on a hamburger bun (or crusty roll, if that’s your thing) along with cole slaw or potato salad.

Call Sticky Fingers at (800) 784-2597 or try them online at: www.stickyfingersonline.

Check out some other Super Bowl suggestions in this diary entry from two Januarys ago: Football Food. There I gave a recipe for Seven-Layer Dip and Ginger-Scallion Dipping Sauce perfect for munching during the game.
