The bad news.
I don't even let the employees know how to make them.
I make the sauce myself away from peering eyes.
The good news.
As the end result depends so much on local products and some very special cuts of meat, it surely wouldn't be the same if they were made elsewhere with the exact recipe.
I promise to leave the recipe to alanindr when I die.

I once asked Marco about the recipe, he told me he would tell me, but then he would have to kill me!

They are some real tasty ribs, I just could not understand what the big secret was about "Open Pit" BBQ sauce!

Rocky's Ribs
Robert and I are in Sosua/Cabarete for the weekend. After a day on the beach yesterday we went to eat at Rocky's. We both had the ribs. I gotta say they are pretty damn good. I only had one or two during the 4th of July party because they kept disappearing. But yesterday I had the plate of nine. I think I might do the same today.
Ted (bartender) is a great guy and the atmosphere is very laid back. Marco also has 3 or 4 computers hooked up for customers to use and a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Bruno who is a specimen you have to see. Gorgeous dog (Sorry Bailey...you're just average...hehe).
See you at Rocky's,
EDITED TO INCLUDE: Oh yeah, the prices are very fair. Especially for what you get.

Of course, if I was going with you it would be easier to just show you.....LOL
Just kidding, I have plans to be in Sosua as well but we are going for pizza then there is a live merengue band but I am not sure where, I am just going....
Enjoy and of course tell us what you thought....

Hi Planner,
Well, I'm back in the states and missing the DR already! We did go to Sosua, but ended up at 'El Roca' or 'La Roca'...found Harrisons but instead of going thru the intersection..we went left. (I forgot the directions and could only remember Harrisons). But all was not lost, we had an excellent meal (terrific garlic shrimp!) and wonderful company. Next time we'll get to Rockys. We are planning on December or early January. Maybe we can get together and all go for wings!

Never really had ribs in DR, but I know many people in pork business. My two best friends are highly recognized in the Tampa Bay area since 1985 ... and I do all their refrigeration , since day one.
To cook quality ribs takes 6-8 hours over either hickory or oak.
I've seen people actually..... BOIL,BOIL, the ribs before hand  . And tried to make it UP with the sauce.PEOPLE THAT KNOW ribs would laugh, due to no flavor in the MEAT.
A great way to try the ribs as far as quality of product is to order sauce on a side.
If the meat falls off the bone it's been boiled bottom-line, and all of the flavor from the meat has gone to waste within that procedure, sauce on the side.... dead giveaway. |
