Barbecue served up Steve Ells' style!

RESTAURANT: Mighty Quinn's
DATE: March 3,2014
LOCATION:103 2nd Ave New York, NY 10003

So, I'm on a no-carb diet because... I don't know why...but luckily the bread sucked anyway I stole a nibble from my friend's brisket sandwich bun, upon me complaining that it was bland and hard he said that if the bread was too soft it would not be able to soak up all the brisket juice and BBQ sauce..so there you go I know nothing about bread, except that I like mine soft and with butter. 
In any case, I ordered the single serving of pulled pork, which was tender and juicy almost all the way to the last bite, (my last piece of pig was a tad dry). The BBQ sauce was sweeter than I'd like (but I'm not a BBQ sauce connoisseur, so I don't know if that's normal sweetness) but it wasn't overpowering at all. It was more like really sweet for a second then delicious for the rest of the chew-session. 

The meat came with a side of creamy cole slaw topped with pickled cucumbers. This was excellent because the slaw itself was delicious and not heavy at all and I didn't feel like I was just eating scoops of mayo water. The cucumbers where unimpressive, but no one came here for the cucumbers anyway.  I didn't get any pomme frites in my attempt to stick to my foodie's hell diet, but the delicious aroma that wafted around me was intoxicating!
I also had a tiny taste of the sweet potato casserole. Now, I dislike sweet potatoes but this was so warm and sweet it made me think fondly of thanksgiving! Best thing about Mighty Quinn's: easy, fast (although the lines are long they move pretty quickly), and a cheap way to get pretty good barbecue.

RESTAURANT:  Mighty Quinn's DATE: March 3,2014 LOCATION: 103 2nd Ave New York, NY 10003     Mighty Quinn’s BBQ – definitely packed with mighty taste at this East Village eatery.  At the corner of 6 th  Street & 2 nd  Ave, this casual space is very warm and inviting with its reclaimed wooden tables and walls.  The front window looks like a glass garage door... I wonder if it actually opens up during the summertime.  (Note:  We were here during poofy down-coat weather, so it is a bit chilly and drafty sitting by the glass window, which also is in the crosswind from the front door!)  The food at Mighty Quinn’s does not fall short in letting only its strong, rustic décor speak for its appeal. Behind the carving counter, the meats are slow cooked and smoked with wood.  I’m usually not a brisket person, as apparently I haven’t had a good brisket up until now.  The great thing about eating with friends is getting to taste a bit of other items from the menu.

RESTAURANT:  Dig Inn   DATE: July 31, '14 LOCATION:   350 Hudson Hello Everyone! Not that any of you knew where I worked before, and not like I’m going to tell you now, but I have moved to a different location and that means a plethora of new places to go and stuff my face. I’ve tried a few places already, but this will be the first one I review. This is Dig Inn, popular lunch spot for the working crowd in Hudson Square. I shall begin with identifying the   items I ordered this afternoon:   A. Spicy Meatballs over brown rice B. String Beans & Roasted Potatoes  (w/ mustard, spices, thyme & fresh parsley) C. Local Cucumber & Avocado Salad w/ Creamy Chia Dressing (w/ onion, local tomato, local basil) So I started by digging into the Cucu & Avo, which was chock full of onions and  didn't  have a single tomato in site.  Didn't  see that coming, but I enjoyed the onions, and I hate tomatoes in salads anyway so good riddance to you.

West Coast Eats: Pacific & Atlantic Oysters Step Up to the Plate

DATE: Summer 2015 LOCATION: Blue Plate Oysterette 1355 Ocean Ave Santa Monica, CA 90401 During our time in LA, we spent a lot of our time in Santa Monica. There’s just something about the boardwalk & beach life that I love. Life can be crazy and chaotic, so whenever I can retreat to the fun, simplistic pleasures of life, I will gladly indulge in it. Somewhere during our days at the Santa Monica Pier, biking to Venice Beach and soaking in the beach life, we made our way to Blue Plate Oysterette . Not too far from Santa Monica pier on Ocean Ave, this place was a casual but classier change from the wings and funnel cakes we had been gorging on. The place definitely speaks to me, since it's all about fresh seafood with a New England vibe. It wouldn’t be right to go to a restaurant named Blue Plate Oysterette and not get ourselves a plate of oysters. We did another East Coast vs. West Coast comparison. On the East Coast side, we had our all-time favorite Blue Po
