What’s the difference between pork spare ribs and St. Louis style ribs? Simple answer: it’s all in how it’s cut. St. Louis style ribs are a trimmed down version of spare ribs cut into a long, rectangular shape. Pork spare ribs are longer and have extra meat, as well as extra cartilage, on their racks. The extra meat extends off the rack of ribs between two to five inches in length. We’ll go into the process of cooking them this way.
