6-7. I generally use a half rack per person as a basis, no matter the style of pork rib

If I show up at your house and you feed me 2-3 pork ribs I'm gonna punch you in the mouth!

if its not just ribs you are serving, then your 2-3 ribs per person will probably be a good estimate.

I'd do a rack per couple...I love to have leftovers and you don't want to short a guest.This post was edited on 7/19/12 at 10:33 am

2-3 a person is good if the ratio is 7/7 plus you have other stuff. Your gonna have leftovers.

Thanks

That depends on what sides you have with it. 3 ribs per person is the perfect amount if you're having sides and if people are also drinking alcohol.
If you're only having ribs, then 6-7 a person is correct.

Count is being silly. They are "racks" because they come from the chests of the animals. Duh.
Posted on 7/19/12 at 1:43 pm to OTIS2
That would be chestesses, no?

I stand corrected.

Idk. I can't ever recall only eating 3 ribs with sides. I'll eat at least six.
