A different twist on the “Foreigners Try American BBQ” video concept. A recently transplanted Texan gets a mini barbecue tour of Texas joints in NYC: Fette Sau in Brooklyn and Hill Country and Blue Smoke in Manhattan.
Gotta say – why didn’t they try Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook though? I can only assume because it isn’t a strictly Texas joint despite it having both brisket and beef ribs.
– Big news!
Jim Noble has finally found a spot for his long-awaited barbecue restaurant. And there’s a surprise (maybe) for Charlotte brewing fans. https://t.co/Tqn9ddmGpB
