From Sparrow’s dinner menu, the Sparrow-Smoked Rack is our house take on slow-smoked ribs, a real crowd-pleaser here on the Eastside ($42).
About the Dish
This is a half rack of artisan pork ribs from Oregon’s Carlton Farms, a name we trust for quality pork. We slow-smoke the ribs over mesquite, then finish them with our signature Sparrow golden glaze for a sweet, sticky lacquer over the smoky meat. It is served with mashed potatoes, making it a hearty, full plate. It is comfort food with a little craft behind it, just how we cook in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood. Mesquite smoke and the golden glaze together are what set this rack apart from a standard order of ribs.
What to Drink With It
Smoky, glazed ribs want a bold red or a pour of bourbon. Try the Sparkman Cellars Wilderness, whose dark fruit suits the glaze, or for something with backbone, the Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon. See the full Sparrow beverages menu.
