      • Can get as chops but are a fattier cut. 
    • Spare Ribs: 
      • Cut from remaining after the bacon is cut. 
      • Typically the butcher maximizes the bacon so you don't get these... but you can choose this to get more ribs knowing you will be sacrificing some bacon.
    • Baby Back Ribs: 
      • Comes from the pork chops, after you cut the chops there is not enough for a meal so they typically don’t cut the Baby Back Ribs. ​
