Short Ribs at Hill Country and Daisy May's: Truly Amazing
Short ribs are not a cut of meat most pitmasters bother with in barbecue epicenters like Kansas City, Texas, and Memphis, and yet I have found that my favorite dish at both Daisy May's and Hill Country is short ribs. At Daisy May's, where unfortunately you have to special order the short ribs, Adam Perry Lang leaves the crusty on the outside, tender on the inside short rib meat on the bone, but each rib is easy to carve and eat. At Hill Country the short ribs (which were a special yesterday) are off the bone. The meat is carved into trapezoid-shaped slices that are perfectly marbled and meltingly tender.
I never thought I would say this, but perhaps there is something the great pitmasters around the country can learn from their New York brethren.

You don't have to pre-order the short ribs at Daisy May's. They are an everday staple of the menu.
