How
did those Italian boys get so good at BBQ anyway?

So, you are
wondering how we got wrapped up in the whole bbq scene with a
name like Ranucci's? Well, we love to cook, everyone knows Italians
love to cook! And when Alex relocated from upstate New York (Binghamton)
it was just natural that the local cuisine would begin to influence
his cooking. He began experimenting with ribs and then perfecting
his sauce until whallah - we knew we were on to something!
Meanwhile Ed Ranucci, Alex's dad had started catering back in
New York and caught the BBQ bug from Alex... prompting him to
purchase a beautiful Diamond Plate smoker to start integrating
pulled pork and ribs into his menu. Of course he had to drive
down south to Charlotte to pick up the smoker and just so happened
that the Barbecues Galore at the Arboretum was having the Rib-a-licious
Cook-Off with John Henry that weekend. It just made sense to break
in the new smoker and test it out at the competition. And low
and behold - we took FIRST PLACE IN RIBS!
Well, that was it, we were hooked! No turning back now. Alex went
and got himself a Diamond Plate Fat 50, and now Ranucci's Big
Butt BBQ is now available in New York and North Carolina. |
