WHAT:
If you are looking for fall-off-the-bone-tender ribs, look no further than Bubba Baker’s patented Bubba’s Q De-Boned Baby Back Rib Steak! Stew Leonard’s will welcome Al “Bubba” Baker, a former defensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns and current owner of Bubba Q’s World Famous Bar-B-Q & Catering in Avon Lake, Ohio, and his daughter Brittani for a special tasting event of these de-boned ribs. BBQ lovers can enjoy mess-free, succulent ribs that can be eaten with a knife and a fork!

Stew Leonard’s customers nibble and gnaw more than 200,000lbs of baby back ribs every year.  Bubba’s De-Boned Baby Back Rib Steaks were first seen on ABC-TV’s Shark Tank when investor and entrepreneur Daymond John agreed to invest in the patented de-boned pork ribs and the food company started by Baker and his children. Bubba’s Q De-Boned Baby Back Rib Steak start as a slab of ribs, and through Bubba’s “magic” process, slide the bones right out leaving nothing but tender meat. 

Bubba’s Q De-Boned Baby Back Rib Steak will be available for purchase at Stew Leonard’s for $12.99 for an 18 ounce package. The de-boned ribs are fully cooked and can be grilled, baked in a conventional oven, or even popped in the microwave for a juicy and tender BBQ meal.

WHO:
Al “Bubba” Baker was drafted in 1978 as a 6’6”, 280lb defensive end by the Detroit Lions. He went on to be named 1978 and played in three Pro Bowls. Bubba’s barbecuing roots can be traced back to the 1950’s in Jacksonville, Florida where Bubba’s uncle, “Daddy Jr.,” took him under his wing, showing him the secrets of the family business. Daddy Jr. is none other than the owner of Jenkins Quality Barbeque, considered one of the finest barbeque restaurants not only in the south, but the entire country. Bubba’s-Q received Cleveland Magazine’s Silver Spoon Award for both “Best Ribs” and “Best Barbecue Restaurant” for four consecutive years.
