Mable's Smokehouse

Om Nomz Hero Note to Self: If you serve your food on trays, can we get like place mat that you can color in?

Mable’s Smokehouse is right by Brooklyn Brewery and I could think of not place better to eat at, if you did the beer tour and was hungry. Mable’s is part of the ever growing number of respectable barbecue joints in New York and specifically in Brooklyn. Give it a few more years and Brooklyn will have its own barbecue style eventually. I like eating at barbecue places because it is straight forward. Order how much meat you want, sit down, eat. You can eat a meal here at Mable’s in under 20 minutes, depending on how much you chew and do dinner afterwards. Wait, you mean eating two dinners is not a thing? Meat After the Jump!

Big Apple BBQ Block Party

Om Nomz Hero Note to Self: Complaining about eating barbeque at 11am or “early” is simply un-American

So Y'all from Texas?

Face it; living in the Northeast, we do not have a barbeque culture that is even comparable to states in the South. Sure in New York, we have come a long way in having respectable barbeque places but once you have tried the barbeque from some of the pit masters at the Big Apple Barbeque Block Party, you will realize what you have been missing all these years. 

Every year for the past 10 years, New York has been blessed with hosting the Big Apple Barbeque transforming Madison Square Park into a Carnivore’s wet dream. Pit Masters from around the country hike up here and make tasty barbeque. The main question is not what you are going to eat, the question is who’s barbeque are you going to eat first? For me, it was the Salt Lick all the way from Texas featuring Sausage and brisket. The Big Apple BBQ is a place where teamwork works to your advantage, one waits while another one goes and gets barbeque from another line. So while my friend waited for the Salt Lick, I hit up Rodney Scott’s whole hog from South Carolina. Tangent: I am slightly interested in seeing how much white bread they go through during the event; if anyone wants to fund this research let me know. NEED PICS OF 'CUE NOW!
