Cafe Negril
Had the B-B-Q ribs at Cafe Negril in Costamber the other night. They were fantastic. Not Texas style-but great.

But as I see it you are making a mountain out of a mole hill here! I have read 90% of the posts here over the past 4 or 5 years. From my perspective the vast majority of posts have digressed to some degree.
This thread may have digressed a little, but IMHO you are starting to stifle this forum!

Let me clear this up before Robert has to.Mirador said:It has come to my attention that Robert has a steak (no pun intended ;-) in the business. So it's not without reason that any postings that may raise issues regarding Rocky's ribs will be unceremoniously deleted.

I didn't perceive any insult and don't rightly know what you mean.easygoin said:When you talk the best, money is no option. It's quality that you're looking for. Boiling, pit, smoker,.... that's all relative when you live in a third world country. Rocky I never meant to perceive you in a bad way as far as your product by no means. I have never seen in the USA that procedure done. If it works for you and people are very happy with your product why change. Obviously you're doing something right, for people to rave about your ribs, and I totally respect that. As for Tony Roma's, Sonny's, they're just a chain that cannot produce a quality product. My buddies closed down those heavy hitters in all four of their locations , that tried to knock them out. The little guy that takes time to produce a quality product... in such a small market as pork is will be the winner every time. Good luck

I love ribs and made an effort to make the best we could here in Sosua.
I still love Bobby Rubino's baby back ribs and drool all over the Bar-B-Barn's.
The whole point of me replying to Mirador is that I didn't want any confusion about partners and vested interests, and if we don't get back on topic, we're gonna get our wrists slapped.
Robert said:You don't get to see all the posts, of should I say the ones that are deleted.
It's not called censoring, it's called staying on topic.
As for the stifile comment.. nah... why bother.

Rocky said: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 have never been to D.R. and we are going to Cabarete in January.
My friends Willy and Nancy have a villa in Puerto Plata, and they told me about this Canadian Fellow who has a great bar/ribs/ etc.
Are you the man??
If so, we will be looking you up. Apparently you are located in Sosua. Is that far from Cabarete. What is a good nite to come for ribs.
Cannot wait. I do love ribs. We had some in St.Maartens at Ms.B's on Dawn Beach, and they were wonderful. Just trying to plan our trip.
Would be great to see visit a fellow Canadian.

Have a good one - eh??
Meg
TimInDR said:Rocky's is a short trip from Cabarete. 10-15 minutes. I've done the ribs twice now. I've left fat dumb and happy each time. (Last time I got the little-known and unlisted 'super-sized order of 12' option.) mmm mmm
next time I'm trying the kabobs though. they looked great.
Bob K said:Can you get the ribs at Rocky's dry with sauce on the side, or are they all slathered in sauce? Second question for Rocky: is there sugar in the sauce?
We will be there in oct and will try them.
Thanks
Bob K
I had the same concerns you had. It taste like there is sugar in the sauce, but not an overabundance of sauce (or sugar) like you would get at any of the chain of rib joints in the US.Bob K said:Can you get the ribs at Rocky's dry with sauce on the side, or are they all slathered in sauce?
