As a former general manager for Applehell, I can definitely tell you those ribs are 100% real pork ribs. They come in 50lb cases (back then), and our main supplier was in Sweden of all places. They are seasoned with burger fry (salt, pepper & garlic) seared on the grill, then steamed with liquid smoke in the bottom of a large raised pan. When done properly, they really are delicious 😋 the riblet comes from the back end of the spareribs

Applebees: Nobody seems to be ordering our riblets today... Joel Hansen: Hi...

However, what Applebees refers to as “riblets” are actually “button ribs,” which are actually not ribs at all. They're from a long, thin cut of meat that runs along the spine just after the rearmost rib, a cut that's around 6 inches long, 1 ½ inches wide, and ¼ inch thick.

I don't go to Applebee's very often either, but I went this past summer and enjoyed my food enough. For the all you can eat I'd probs go with the shrimp and chicken, but mostly shrimp. I wasn't counting your plates, but you did a heck of a job! I couldn't believe how many she said were still coming!

I love the blue cheese. I love this channel and Joel is my favorite. I've lost several pounds since I started watching because he eats for me.

Riblets are pre cooked, once they are cooked they are kept refrigerated until needed. They are then microwaved until hot, and the grill flavor is from when they're thrown on the grill before being sent out. Wings and shrimp come frozen. Source: worked there long enough there in the kitchen. Good video, I still go once in a while for that standard taste that's made.

Riblets is a name for a variety of parts. My best guess is that these are "button ribs". Circular shaped bones located at the last five or so bones of the backbone. It's not really a part of the rib but its sits right next to them. Think of it maybe as a loin type rib. Sweden, where I'm originally from is a big exporter of this particular cut.

The pork ribs are legit. I remember back in the mid 90s working for an Applebee's it was a huge seller especially during the "All You Can Eat" promos which had a line out the door and customers waiting hours just to get in to eat and often we run out of them in the middle of the shift. We would cook on the broil 5-8 cases seasoned with burger fry seasoning and then steamed for 90 minutes with a liquid smoke . They were cooled then portioned. When you ordered them? We would reheat and apply bacon grease with a brush on the broil and lather them with Bullseye BBQ sauce before plating them.

That's crazy for the price. Well done Joel. Hats off to you xx

Riblets are a real part of the animal. When ribs are trimmed for sale in the traditional "st louis style" cut, the two ends become left over scrap meat, these are riblets and rib tips. Riblets come from where the butcher removes the rounded end of a slab of rib bones at the spine end. They should be the short flat pieces that are left over once the curved portion is trimmed away. Typically they have a little bit of bone in each. Rib tips are the other end of the ribs, they don't include bone but instead have a thick piece of cartilage. The cartilage and the attached chunk of meat are sold as rib tips. Between the two, rib tips have more of their own flavor as they come from the side that is closer to the belly of the pig and have more fat.

@JoelHansen

Жыл бұрын

Riblets can be 2 different things, 1 being a rack of ribs cut lengthwise in half so you have riblets basically, and then there is a flap of meat on spare ribs that you'd normally trim off that is also cut into pieces and called riblets.

Anyone know if this offer is still available? I Googled it and it started back in January of this year but for a limited time.

For me, Applebee's has gone way downhill. As a former waitress, she could have refilled your drinks without even asking. Those riblets looked like dog food. More power to you and George for eating this...stuff. 😂😂😂
