House Of Cards Freddy’s Ribs Recipe
Are you a House Of Cards fan? Then you need no introduction to Freddy’s BBQ joint, a hole in the wall eatery frequented by Frank Underwood when he’s not making cut throat political decisions.
About Freddy’s BBQ Joint
Owned by Freddy Hayes, a friend of Underwood’s, the joint is famous for its ribs; we’ll bet you feel an immense craving for them coming on whenever you watch House Of Cards. Freddy opens the restaurant at any time of the day when Underwood finds himself craving ribs; he even delivers them to the office once in a while.
Unfortunately for fans, Freddy’s isn’t set in a real life eatery. However, you can enjoy the ribs thanks to Curtis Stone and Netflix, who created a recipe for North Carolina sticky ribs.
Enjoy these ribs with potatoes and corn as a main course for lunch or dinner while you enjoy a House Of Cards marathon.
