Big Apple BBQ.

NYC BBQ 1NYC BBQ 2

This afternoon we checked out the The Big Apple BBQ so I could get my fix. The setup was kind of unique whereas each vender only had one dish so we had to decide what type of meat we wanted before we got in line. No samplers. We decided to checkout a couple different vendors and create our own sampler.

Here’s what we came up with:
– Pulled Pork (Ubon’s from Yazoo City, MS)
– Beef Brisket (RUB BBQ from New York, NY)
– St. Louis Ribs (Blue Smoke from New York, NY)

The Pulled Pork from Ubon’s was by far the best, maybe because it was from The South. They also provided the largest portion amongst the three and that counts for something in my book.

Urban Grilling.

Today was my first attempt at Grilling in New York and I must say it was a moderate success. A ten dollar grill from Rite Aid and some really good steaks from the itailian butcher (meat shop?) around the corner were just the right mix.

This cookout was more of a test run than anything. I can’t really compare it to some of the legendary pork roasts I’ve been a part of but it’s good to get back in the game.

476 miles as the crow flies (minus two buritos).

Yesterday before work I stopped by the ice cream bar at FAO Schwarz to have a $14 Milk Shake and I happened across the Dallas Cowboys’ 1st round Draft Pick Bobby Carpenter. This is really of no consequence but I also saw him last year in Columbus with the same woman eating a massive burrito at Chipotle.

Just kind of interesting. The Buckeye jacket gave him away. Did I mention the milk shake was $14… The Sundae was more.

Update:

I’ve been recently been notified that it wasn’t Bobby Caprenter but actually Nick Mangold. This makes sense since I’m in New York and Mangold signed with the Jets. As you can see by the photographs above this is an easy mistake from accross the room. If I only I had my team of interns working on this it wouldn’t be a problem.
