Duff Goldman's Favorite SHOWSTOPPER Ribs and Crab Cake Combo | ALL-STAR Best Thing I Ever Ate

crab meat

🥗Healthier: imitation crab

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Imitation crab is lower in cost and calories.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt offers a healthier, tangy alternative.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade sauce can reduce sugar and preservatives.

baby back ribs

💰Cheaper: pork spare ribs

Spare ribs are often less expensive and still flavorful.

Make the wet mix for the crab cake by combining eggs, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise in a bowl.

Add Old Bay seasoning to the crab mixture.

Incorporate jumbo lump crab meat into the mixture, ensuring it's mostly crab meat with just a little bit of filler to hold it together.

Top the crab mixture with colossal lump crab meat.

Bake the crab cakes in the oven until crispy.

Roast the baby back ribs overnight to make them tender.

Before serving, grill the ribs for three minutes to get grill marks.

Slather the ribs with spicy Carolina sauce and add liquid smoke for flavor.
