1990-Blizzard season in Chicago we left for a vacation on Maui. One night we dined on Azeka ribs a very good food memory thus the inspiration for what used to be an inexpensive cut of meat. At the time I was focused on Junior League cookbooks when we traveled and picked up the Honolulu 1989 version. Many years later I discovered the “Easy Picnic Short Ribs” recipe in the book, but for many years I made my own version from scribbled tasting notes on the last page of the book. No Internet in those days to look up similar recipes, now there are several claiming to be the Azeka family recipe. I take these along for a grilled lunch or dinner on the beach.
If you have never had Azeka’s ribs, it doesn't matter which recipe you choose, if you have had them pick the closest marinade recipe and adjust it according to what you recall. I also read that you can buy the marinade in Canada and Seattle...
