Kirk and Davis are back on bookshelves with “America’s Best Ribs”

It’s summer and that means a new guide to grilling from Chef Paul Kirk and Ardie A. Davis, two of the founders of the Kansas City Barbecue Society. The duo have written 11 barbecue cookbooks between them (many co-authored), and the latest is “America’s Best Ribs,” a collection of recipes, tips and stories about ribs of nearly every meat variety.

“It’s a user-friendly book,” Davis says. “Even people that don’t like to cook will like to read this book.”
