tailgate grilled baby back ribs côtes de dos grillées

Explanation:
"tailgate party", c'est une sorte de pique-nique dans le parking d'un match (de football américain ou de base-ball), qui se fait au cul du pick-up truck ou du 4x4, d'où le "tailgate".
Ça se pratique aux États-Unis, je ne sais pas pour le Canada, et je suis sûr que ça n'existe pas en France.
Sauf si le contexte rendait la traduciton de "tailgate" absolument indispensable (et dans ce cas je n'envisage qu'une périphrase), je laisserais tomber complètement.

Reference: Wiki article explains the different cuts of pork ribs

Reference information:
I don't think the 'back ribs' cut is actually used in France, AFAIK.

Although rather sparse, this site explains some at lest of the pork cuts used in FR butchery:

I think one of Prue Leith's books in EN has a good explanation of the difference between EN and FR butchery cuts.

(go to 'Fresh cuts')

This site, admittedly originating in EN and translated into FR, seems to be pretty reliable overall, and would appear to support JL01's suggestion of 'côte de dos' (the literal translation, after all!)

The Wiki article reassuringly explains that the 'baby' simply means they come from a smaller-sized pig, not some poor little piglet!

This looks like a very useful food resource — though sadly, deosn't include pork!

Il n'est d'ailleurs pas question de la "party" en soi, mais des baby back ribs, alors pourquoi pas :

"travers de porc grillés (à l'arrière de la camionnette)"
