EDL Taste Test: BBQ & Cravings Ribs vs Urban Fuxion Ribs
NOSA: Someone floated this idea to me a while back and I can't believe it's taken so long to get round to it. Actually, I can believe, I'm lazy.
Anyway, this is something we're going to be doing with increasing frequency. We're still working on the name lol.
FOLLY: I don't think EDL Taste Test is a bad name. Pretty boring, but it's descriptive.
NOSA: For our first "EDL Taste Test", we're comparing the ribs at BBQ & Cravings with the ones at Urban Fuxion.
PRICE
NOSA: At N2500, BBQ & Cravings might cost N100 more, but they give you a lot more rib per naira than Urban Fuxion. For that alone, I think they shade it as far as price goes.
FOLLY: I don't know for sure if the BBQ & Cravings ribs are actually a bigger portion than Urban Fuxion's or just look like more because they are cut into little pieces.
Ps. BBQ & Cravings ribs are usually N3000 with two sides and a drink, while Urban Fuxion's portion is usually N2900 with one side and a drink. We specifically requested to drop the sides and drinks.
TASTE
NOSA: This might either be a new development or I never noticed it, but BBQ & Cravings ribs have some spicy bbq thing going. Like, they were looking out for their target market.
FOLLY: Nope, not a new development, they've always been like that.
NOSA: That said, Urban Fuxion is the one for me.
FOLLY: I disagree with Nosa on this. I quite liked the spicy bbq sauce on the BBQ & Cravings ribs, even licked the little bones.
FALL-OFF-ABILITY
NOSA: Urban Fuxion ribs are incredibly tender. Just like how ribs should be.
FOLLY: Nowhere in Lagos makes ribs as tender as Urban Fuxion's. If someone does, I've never been there.
NOSA: BBQ & Cravings ribs are nothing close to tender. Not even close.
VERDICT
NOSA: Urban Fuxion. Easily.
FOLLY: Urban Fuxion.
