Event with ribs, in two senses (5)

I believe the answer is:

roast

(Other definitions for roast that I've seen before include "Heavily criticise" , "& 3 Accompaniment to Yorkshire pudding?" , "Cook; criticise" , "Be uncomfortably hot" , "Cook, eg, joint of meat" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
