Whether you’re elevating a weekend special or adding flair to a bar menu, this dish is your go-to showstopper.

Sweet, smoky, salty… and just a little nutty. The Smooth Talker lives up to its name with a rich, velvety glaze that wraps around every curve of these perfectly tender Wichita pork ribs. It’s bold, unexpected, and undeniably craveable. This is ribs with swagger—elevated by the creamy richness of peanut butter and the familiar depth of smoky BBQ sauce. A guaranteed conversation starter on any menu.
