I made a return trip to Ray Cook's BBQ place in Oldham county, right off Highway 42 and east of Highway 53 (goes to LaGrange). Phone number is 664-7098. First time, the ribs were fantastic, as was the potato salad. Also, excellent country fresh eggs. I wanted to go back again.
I called last night around 5:30, Ray answered, and he still had ribs. Pretty country drive to the small house with the cooker nearby. We talked about the selections and picked out our rack of pork ribs for carryout. I do not know about cooking ribs and such, but I like mine flavorful, sauceless, and fresh. The ribs were so juicy, they dripped a little bit on the clean counter. Ray's lovely wife wrapped the ribs while we looked around at all the other offerings. We left with the ribs, a boneless chicken breast and bacon (Ray makes it). Ray prepares a lot products in that small building, I think fish, too. If I had been alone, I would have snacked on the way home, but manners count. At home, I heated a soft butter roll from Plehn's Bakery in St. Matthews and the meat fell off the bone onto the warm roll. I dipped my little boneless sandwich into BBQ sauce I purchased from Ray. Yummy! My dining companion ate ribs the regular way and the room was silent, but for the staring animal friends. I will have to save the bacon to try another day. My dining companion soon left with the remaining ribs, and a smile. I kept the chicken and made a delicious taco today, moist and meaty.
