Southern RUB or Memphis BBQ... both are within 2 minute drive of eachother RUB is far superior IMO. Memphis has a great deal on Mondays however, the Monday Mania Combo or whatever. and Memphis does smoked chicken wings which are...

Has anyone checked out the new BBQ joint that replaced Phillies in Long Island City? Thoughts?

and chewy rather than tender and tasty. I guess these joints are more of a pork rib-based type places. I’ve been to Mom’s BBQ in Van Nuys, which actually has tender, flavorful ribs. Any recommendations for places with...

just received the new issue of saveur and on the cover was a teaser about 26 great burger joints on p.55.- went there and skimmed thru plenty of burger talk but i did not see an actual listing of places, just some mentions,...

Bob, The only offer I can make for the kind of local joint you’re looking for would be The Tree in Mandarin, I suppose. I haven’t been there in so long that I can’t really give a picture of what it’s like...

was definitely eastern style, lightly smoked, very moist and tender, and they worked in plenty of that wonderful outside char. The peppery vigegar sauce is on the tables and that is the only kind of sauce they offer. I like the...
